Since you are in Alabama, as I am, can you give me a brief explanation of your process and strategy with purchasing tax liens?

What explanation is your manager giving as to why there are no qualified applicants?

@Marcia Maynard Nice explanation :)

@Manny Cirino Ohhh thank you for that explanation.

thank you so much for the detailed explanation!

you might take a look at this survey on affordability-http://www.demographia.com/dhi.pdfSocialism generally increases taxes and thus puts presure on sales prices, IIRC - would appreciate an explanation of what you think Socialism does to increase sales prices of RE - NY RE owners would love to know, since they spend a lot of money to the anti-socialism lobbies!

It is amazing how many homes come and go on this location, but it is still a healthy selection.BTW: thanks guys for the explanation of the sharp drop in the RE market.

Kiran, I understand your explanation, just personally feel that tossing extra money to the bank is just more money out of your pocket and should only be done if absolutely necessary to get the deal.

As you have seen already...They somehow manage to force them, cajole them, bend them, cut them, poke them, rip them, etc.......I have seen everything from cutting them open purposely (to get in an open window on a lock out), to a full on Houdini cat claw jail break escape; then there is the just plain crushed like an accordion and shoved in a closet with no explanation...

I think these professionals are acting rationally in overspending in the early years - please google "permanent income life cycle hypothesis" for an explanation.
