How determined are you to bridge the gap between your actual abilities and success -- because there is most likely a bridge that exists between what you think is going to happen and reality. 

The area is actually a growing market I’ve lived here over 20 years and its come along way from when we first moved.

@Todd WorrichThank you so much, I actually don’t know very much about the tax foreclosures but I’m interested to find out more about them.

I'm handy by trade, have worked for and been a general contractor and have all the tools for the job, whether it's my actual tools or connections for bigger projects or repairs.
