The uniqueness of many tax sale properties, I have never seen in non-taxsales.

We are toying with the idea of this too but are 2-3 years away from pulling the trigger on something but have looked in the Manistee/Traverse City/Cadillac triangle and there are some great buys still in that area.

(No @ needed) luckily you have somewhat of a unique name.

Every area is unique for sure.

On another note, I think I can provide a unique perspective as I have worked in finance for ~5 years, including 3.5 years at a GSE and the rest working with some of the largest private equity funds in the world.Thanks and hope to talk you y'all soon!

Just like any other 'toy', the sky is the limit on what you can spend on those things.

This is a proven systematic way to market to a unique list of people who are not on most peoples radar, and, have a high statistical likelyhood of selling.As Chris said, take it with a grain of salt.

I started to learn who the 'unique' individuals were in the community.

Enjoy while you're there.You can become familiar with the market, set up contacts in the SA area, learn financing techniques and rules, Texas RE is has unique rules.

Real estate and finance laws are unique to every state.Best wishes for a long and successful investment career.
