There is always the old fashioned way to advertise. Put a pretty girl in a sandwich board at a busy intersection.

"The longest journey begins with the smallest of steps". At 18 you should read, study and pick one area of real estate to learn.

If your waiting doesn't get all of your money back, you can file a civil suit against your former friend. 

Simply look up the company on old threads on this site. There are a zillion of them talking about the pros and cons..

You don't have to show them anything. Simply put them in touch with your Real Estate Attorney. He will draft the mortgage for them and provide title insurance.

It is actually more simple. Don't pay a cent for the course. In Baltimore, you go to the tax sale department. They give you all the names, addresses and amounts for a small fee. The trick is to find the people. We used a private detective. The whole thing was a royal pain in the neck endeavor. We would find someone and they mostly would say "what do we need you for". "We can get the money ourselves. Thanks". Or they would believe it and refused to sign the document. Some people would say " I want nothing to do with the house". Please find something else to do with your time.

I wish your software could help me choose the best bottle of wine to help me wash away my pain point. 999 more to go. A little Friday humor.

Yes foreclosure sales go on every day at the Court House steps around the country. Auction.com sells Bank owned properties. The Trustee sales you see shown on the site, at least in Maryland, are merely an additional form of advertisement. Auction.com picks up additional advertising money from the foreclosure Trustees. The more people who see the sale listing, the more people show up at the Courthouse steps.

@Ericka Alexander

The answer you are seeking is relative to the area and person. In Baltimore I can buy $60,000 properties and rent them for $1300. So to me it is not a good deal. Only you can determine if the numbers work for your area and finances. It seems to me that your return on investment may be in the single digits.
