Life gets hectic sometimes and they're only little for a short time. 

Susan - The short answer is normally the liens are wiped out by the tax sale, and subsequent quiet title lawsuit. 

If I were you, I would make my primary short term objective to analyze as many deals as possible to understand what is out there to come up with a realistic target.

Long story short, I finally got a house under contract after two years of following bigger pockets and being interested in real estate so I am excited about my progress!

I am in short term vacation rentals currently, but I'd like to expand to other asset classes, such as Multi-family, SFR, and Long Term Rentals.

I would guess that the short term future will continue to be a Fix and Flip for homes or a quick flip. 

These are the people most likely to use sub 800sf and would find a short-term lease desirable.

While I'm not currently looking to settle down, I enjoy traveling to #1 enjoy other cities, #2 scope real estate, #3 enjoy said cities with intelligent female company on short notice without the typical dating hoops to jump through just to be able to have true quality time with a great lady.

Long story short, after a few backs and forth, and a long delay from the seller's agent (due to health issues), we finally got the contract signed.

My short term goals right now is to purchase 2-3 more multifamily properties in the Woonsocket area (I am also looking in the Cumberland, Pawtucket, Providence areas) by the end of 2019.
