Mostly it has to do with your comfort level, education and tolerance for risk.Personally - we prefer real estate (obviously) for multiple reasons.

(b) "Multiple acts of rent skimming" means knowingly and willfully rent skimming with respect to each of five or more parcels of residential real property acquired within any two-year period.

Originally posted by Alan Brymer:Here are my observations: 1) You have to get a bigger discount, whether you're wholesaling or not 2) There appear to be fewer buyers to wholesale to now who have cash, so work harder at building a list of real players 3) Private lenders are a little more wary of loaning on real estate, but you can just show them in more detail how you buy at big discounts and they understand.

In Portland, OR I usually check with the county for property tax foreclosures...they typically hold their auctions once a year...depending on their inventory maybe more often.So I would check the county website for whatever city you are looking in...i'm sure there are multiple counties you can check...they will have a section for property tax auctions...and there should be someone you can call...they will probably put you on their mailing list and they will notify you when they are having sale...at least that is how it is done here in Portland.
