When she opens it and pulls out a drum, tell her to beat it!

     IRS lien  redemption period is 120 daysYou might mention some of the negatives of tax salesLooking through your past posts  I'm inclined to think your just posting to drum up business

I am fully confident that the US consumer will go right back to spending 103% of their income as soon as the media stops pounding the crisis drum.

Since July or so I've been slammed with all kinds of new business.When I am in a slow time I usually dedicate 1/2 my time to drumming up new business and I allocate some time to learn something NEW that I've been meaning to learn about.

I'm still one, but I also used to instruct drumming and worked as a case manager for a while. 

I've seen a lot of opportunities in your area, but I really like the property manager and her team I have in place in Indiana and I've gotten together a pretty good list of who to see for what for future projects in that area.Here in Colorado it's tough....it's either outbidding asking prices on homes in the Denver metro area, wishing I could put together capital to purchase a $1.2 million empty 43 spot mobile home park with a TON of opportunity, or investing in areas where houses are selling for $3,000 - $5,000 more than they were 10 years ago (not a very good proposition).Strategy for the rest of the year is to close on two deals (I'm about 45 days away per the attorney) in Arizona, let things season, and see what I can drum up in Indiana or Ohio this Fall.

@Rob Drum Jr.If there is a significant price difference in the top 20% and top 1% of rehabs, then you may want to shoot for the top of the mountain if the cost of doing so generates a return that is better than what you spent to get there.

Some burnt dust is being blown into the drum through that grill that looks rusty. 

or, was it to drum up interest in your ideas of 500% returns working with local businesses, bc you did make a point to mention that...just curious.....

Just to pile on a little...Where I live, in a suburb of Kansas City, MO, one of the local realtors sends out a flyer once a month to drum up business.
