I have analyzed dozens and none of them seem to work so I am wondering if I am missing something.Thanks!

@Ethel Weaver its going to be a battle and you may spend more money on an attorney than its worth. if you do seek the advice of an attorney make sure he isnt just charging you, writing letters, appealing hearings etc.. just to run up your legal bill. talk to 1/2 dozen attorneys and get their opinion on is it worth even going after.

To be frugal is to maximize value, or assessing each and every purchase to optimize the long term benefit you get from it vs. the long term cost you pay for it.

I did all types of deals: dozens of single family flips, dozens of waterfront lot flips at Smith Mountain Lake, VA, built 7 or 8 houses, did a small subdivision, lease-options, and more. 

that's a company that advertises their "services" for finding foreclosures and they're a dime a dozen.

You walk in to a closing room with a dozen people smiling at you.

The information that is usually listed is: the property address, the amount of taxes owed (which is the amount that you would pay for the property); the assessed value of the property and where it is located; sometimes it will provide info about the # of bedrooms/baths.

Maybe have any where from 2-3 to a dozen properties, often in multiple state.

There are dozens of markets with more potential (unless you have some other compelling reason to be there!)

Assess what is truly important in your life, what you need not what you want.
