Like some of the others on this thread, I am new to Tax Lien investing and recently found the US Tax Lien Association as well. 

Well, we ended up being the most successful in our area.

You explained well the fact that this might be an issue for you.

She felt threatened and called the cops as well as stating in the group chat that it was unacceptable.

We're doing REALLY well here.  

I did some direct mailers to the tower and it worked out well but ongoing I want to get more. please reach out if you have further interest in downtown miami or brickell.

Hello, I think it’s really awesome that you’re just now beginning and you are already coming to the forums to learn so the first thing you need to do is to continue to stay on the forms and you also need to be reading all of the bigger pocketbook and start listening to their podcast to soak up as much knowledge as you can and as long as you do that, you will have all the knowledge you need to start and regarding your question I do not advise to buy a single-family house just to live in it without a rental property aspect so it’s OK if you want to live in the house as well but you will have to either get a multifamily property or you could also buy a single-family home and rent out the other rooms  now see when you have a property that you use just for your family then you have to pay the mortgage every month which is building your equity, but that responsibility is solely on you whereas if it has some sort of rental property aspect, there will be other people helping you build that equity if you were to buy a property just for yourself that is something that will be taking money out of your pocket every month while as a rental property if you buy right will be putting money in your pocket every month the only exception to what I just said is if you buy a property for yourself or just for your family to live in, you could do a live-in flip to where as you’re living in the property you rehab it while your living there and if you buy right with enough knowledge, then when you turn around to sell the property, you will make profit

this worked out well in the short term for us.  

Assuming  this revenue ruling still stands, it mirrors the SC situation nicely, meaning it would support your acquisition date of the real property not starting until you have taken possession.I think this would be highly dependent on the terms of the local jurisdiction as well, so what might be correct in one jurisdiction, could be completely wrong in another depending on the rights acquired related to the property.But happy to be pointed where I am wrong!

Also, I will look into Seth Williams as well.
