Should I look for properties that have low interest rates on their liens, since obviously their property must have held good value for the investors who bought those liens were willing to receive so little return on their investment, unless they saw a chance to own the property after a couple years.

The fact that the amount of inventory went down along with the average of original list price received buttresses the point the market is doing well here.

I bought groupon for half off and received my license from there in 2014.
