I am starting out bidding at the county steps but can't seem to win one.

And those 74 families didn't win because of your silence on the issue.

Well, the other logical option would be to replace the property taxes with income taxes in which case you would go to jail rather than lose your home if you aren't current.This is basically a win win for me because if it passes, it would save me a big chunk of change every year.

I now beleive in myself, because I do bring value to the table since I no longer have to win, but instead have fun.

Those are the points I would make to my wife.Then I would by a SFR, because she tends to win this sort of argument in our household.

I would ask him/her to pay for your next mailing, if/when they get the listing.Then, I would also ask the realtor if they come across any property that seems to meet your criteria that you get first crack at making an offer on it (with them representing both sides, of course).This is a win/win.

You win either way the currency moves radically as long as the mortgaged portfolio:1.

When I buy a property, I want to create a win win situation for both the seller and I or I won’t purchase the property.

Could be a win-win.I would try to go that route first.
