Congratulations on becoming debt free and paying off your mortgage on your primary residence.Have you saved any money in an IRA or A 401K that is accessible for use in your investments?

This is going OK, but I'd rather be renting out rooms in a house I own, not rent and sublet.I will read up on the "subject to" investing.Also, I have a fair amount of equity in these houses, but can't access it in the current lending environment.

And then there's the much-needed MLS access to run lots of comps.So, here we are.

In my research of county owned Tax Liens, I've found a couple that are for the common area of a sub-division (lake and park), and a townhouse community (street and parking lot).If I purchased the lien, and then ended up the the deed, could I say block access for the residents if they didn't pay me for my time, expense and some profit?

Our $99 bundle of internet, phone and tv quickly gets jacked up to $129 due to taxes and use fees, call waiting, caller id and a minor upgrade of the tv channels (if I hadn't upgraded my entire tv lineup would have consisted of local programming, public access and spanish channels).
