Just in case you don't know,  right of redemption means that the owner that was foreclosed on has a certain period of time usually a year to come back and claim the property, which almost never happens but there is a possibility for them to do so.

In short, they're only good for rental grade, nothing you really want to live in.

You probably have 20 years before retirement, think about how much your investments can grow over this period of time, tax-free!

Fortunately, we have a good report with the agent(s) with whom we work and they bring us lots of {potential} deals (on, off and pre-market).In short, it is not at all necessary to have your licence to be an investor here, but it could be beneficial as it can lower your selling costs when the time comes.

I can't seem to make out if that is applicable to investments (duplex or triplex), I'm surprised (and happy) at the fact there's no minimum residency period!

In looking up the tax records it appears to have been bought on a short sale back in 2013 for $85,000 and the owner took out a mortgage of $63,000.  

I started to try and persuade her February 2014 shortly after we got engaged.

Although I couldn't get a meeting with Clayton's team on short notice, I did do a drive by of the duplex they had sent me as an already sold example: 820 N Oakland Ave. 

I applied for a mortgage through a broker shortly after getting it fully rented. 

Other options are putting a RV in the yard, however in many cases you can not live there for extended periods of time.
