I'm interested in learning about the experience of brick and mortar people, not the gurus. If someone has bought a property, what is your strategy regarding the redemption period?

    I buy many foreclosures, but not at the auction. I buy them before they actually foreclose, which is what you should be doing.

     I haven't bought one recently.  I sent people to the courthouse when I know one is coming up.  In fact, I sent someone yesterday for a apartment that's about 10 units and about $1m in a nice area (I'll be vague since it's a well know deal).   But it was pulled (as most are)

    Last deal I bought was about a year ago.  A 6 pack of new construction townhomes in Montrose.  About 90% built.   We bought, finished them up, sold them (well, all but one.  We're still leasing one unit)

    I'm not a huge foreclosure buyer but in my life I've bought about 20 deals.  None had a redemption.
