@Kristine Pedersen The sweet spot Temple territory is a pretty simple square- anywhere between Cecil B.

A possible danger is if the county would give that payment back to the person who bought at the courthouse steps, rather than you if you purchase it now.

That paperwork is simply a contract.Additionally, "flipping" notes can be pretty dangerous if you have no idea what you are doing.

Your danger you are going to fall into doing this long distance is that there is a lot of footwork required.

Talk to a local real estate lawyer and go from there.By this at least you should be sure of: tThe "scrub my tiles in front of me" and "barefoot yoga splinters" crap is definitely problem-tenant territory.

But i dont have sufficient funds for that.If my concern is really valid and there is real danger of legal action i will have to break the lease and move in there.  

While it may be a little simplistic for today's modern financial systems, it has the right idea about balancing the future and the present.It promotes devoting a portion of your income for later and spending the rest in the present.We are not guaranteed to experience the future anyway, so the present must have some value.The point of all this is that extremes and ideologies are tempting, but they are ultimately dangerous dogmas.

Once you can do that you’re ready for the bigger drones.Step 8 - Scout out the territory.

Its the part of the industry I started my sales career in.. in those days you could have a 100 lot subdivision with maybe 4 homes in it.. fast foreword to today and maybe that development is now 70 to 90% built out and smack dab in the middle of high danger fire areas.Oregon is lucky in a way with the land use. you simply cant urbanize the forests.. so yes a lot of forest land has burnt down and a few of the old logging towns.. but if the land development had followed what happened in CA and the forest had many more recreational subdivisions it would have been far worse in the loss of homes category. 

Jay- good thought but this is an OWNER OCCUPIED residence - thus they are CONSUMERS and lending to distress consumers who cannot show or demonstrate any ability to REPAY the debt is DANGEROUS as once you take their feet out of the fire - the pain stops (at least momentarily).
