That's a five year long process.Just because they didn't pay, doesn't mean the lien got extinguished. on RARE ocasions, some lenders were reconveying title on junior liens that they charged off but most of those were compelled to do so under settlement agreements with the 50 state attorneys generals with a national settlement from a class action against the big five (Chase, City, Wells, BofA and I think GMAC).I think i'm missing a couple pieces of the puzzle.

I have spoken to a lot of wholesalers in Kansas City, and I haven't found many good wholesalers that can produce single family, duplexes, triplexes, four plexes, or larger multi-family off market outside the urban core on a consistent basis.

More seems to be trickling into MLS now in spring but nothing really compelling yet.. at least with my search criteria and defined areas.

I'm earning a 1.4 - 1.75% rent/price ratio back east, I haven't seen anything close to that here so I haven't been compelled to speak optimistically about the rental market here.

There will always be a need for a downtown core I just don't see it as a draw like Portland or Seattle.

That's a product of integrity, and integrity is earned.The posts I see on BP and elsewhere often don't provide a compelling and defined business reason to invest or offer a source for due dilligence of the individual or the deal.

Of course, there are a lot of other things to look at put I see these as the core fundamentals.

As the 80s management books always stressed, I am sticking to my core competency, and I've never been happier.

Whenever you are buying a property out of state you should do a few things to ensure it's as smooth as possible.Don't buy in the roughest neighborhood in the urban core.

@Brandon Hall I agree with @Ben LeybovichIt seems like your core strength is in the accounting profession and that real estate is a skillset that you are developing.
