The whole thing makes me very nervous, especially when I read Bigger Pocket threads like this:  Can't evict a squatter:  http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/16/topics/1036...Since this will be my first flip I'm wondering if it's smarter to start with a non-occupied property!?

@John Jackson is a GREAT teacher of this topic and I highly recommend his course.  

As far as condensing the information I recommend determining the topic that you are interested in for example, are you wanting info on flipping or analyzing deals or rental property etc.? 

I don't remember the main topic but they kind of went on a rabbit trail on the end that I'm interested in.

Here's the link:  http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/199...There's also one in Philly tonight if you don't mind driving that far:http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/197...I am brand new to real estate investing, and this should be a good opportunity to meet investors in and around our area.  

I begin investing in Tax Liens approximately two weeks ago.I felt the timing was right and since I had some disposable income, I jump head first.I am still relatively new to the area and invited a fellow business colleague to assist me with accessing some of the areas; well a partnership was born.Although, we are both novices in Tax Liens, I have a solid background in researching topics (mostly taxation) but I digress so I felt mildly comfortable with this sudden turn of events.Well in hindsight, my partner and I management style is vastly different; this is where the slight nuisances started to appear. 

It has some great info on this topic!
