I have noticed anyone and everyone in South Florida thinks they should get a real estate license; I would be a proponent of making it much more difficult to et a license, maybe resulting in individuals getting a license as a career choice, not a weekend whim.

I'm going through the county records and I keep seeing tax liens held by a third party (LLCs, individuals, etc.).  

I love meeting all of the like minded individuals.  

Mechanic Liens/Artisan Liens are placed upon property (vehicles, real property, paintings, etc.) that an individual has rendered some type of service upon the property, and the owner of the property does not pay; so long as the individual who performed the service has possession of the property, they have superior title to the property...no matter what...This is obviously harder to do with real property. 

:-]I actually DID drive by the properties to the individuals I was going to send that particular letter out to though, though I realized the "pile of cash" part sounded tacky, thanks again for confirming that realization!

As a hands on individual who lives at the outer edge of a major metropolitan area, I'm curious if investors from the "big city" who are looking for more affordable markets would find benefit in the assistance of a fellow investor native to the area (to help vet properties and/or act as a property manager).  

Would love to get into the mix with other like minded individuals.

An umbrella policy would be unassociated with an individual property but associated with the business - as I understand it all.

-Meeting other individuals including lenders, appraisers, attorneys, contractors, etc. to help with my real-estate pursuits and expand my knowledge.

Real, substantial success versus using say a 10 day inspection period.
