Don't forget Ed, a real estate investor only arrives on the scene after the previous buyer has lost right of redemption.
They are long out of the picture before I get involved. I have no roll in whatever went on before I became interested.

Real estate investors preserve tax bases, and stabilize communities. They keep people in homes.

Clamp buckets do little of that.

Again, as a guy that puts money where his mouth is, I expect honesty and integrity in firearms auctions. I can't support any other shenanigans. By seller or buyer.

And I'm glad to hear when something peculiar has been occurring.

Out there doing it best I can.
