Lets say I lend 100k of my personal money, and this money pays 10% a year.  

With that being said i want to get a real estate licence  my question is where to get an affordable and quality education, I have a full time job so time is a sensitive matter im leaning towards an online program can any one recommend an institute?

Big funds and institutional buyers dominant the tax lien arena today.Buying a property auctioned for taxes for $1,000...you have to wonder what kind of property you will get for $1,000,  especially, if you are the high bidder.You seem to be itching to get into the game, and I don't blame you.
