I do also have a real estate license but it's currently inactive because I decided to teach instead of selling real estate as a full time job (more interested in buying real estate , than I am in selling it) but I may activate it again in the future just to make some money back on my future purchases.

:D I know it will take time and a lot of hard work, but it would be totally worth it to design the quality of my life.The reason that I have joined BP (instead of more lurking) is that I am looking for an opportunity to work for free 20 hrs/wk under an active and successful wholesaler to learn the business from the inside out.

I must admit that I fairly regularly check the activity on the forums, but I'm less diligent on checking the blog.

Hey - I'm looking for some assistance for an upcoming BiggerPockets Blog post about Tax Lien Investing, and I'm just wondering who is actively doing this kind of investing?

Probably the least productive activity is having to weed out the pretenders from the real players.I typically do this with having anyone I work with show bank statements and to verify that when they say they have 400,000, 1 million, or whatever to work with that they actually do in fact have that.You would not believe the number of people out there that pretend to be working with capital or overpromise themselves.

You need a special purchase form if there is an active NOD.

So, even though I was a successful real estate wholesaler, when the opportunity arose to teach my expertise to others, I jumped at it.Yes, I made more money when actively flipping houses was my only business.
