I'm already part of a few Facebook groups, but I'm also open to chatting or catching up over a phone call.

I was buying so many of these pre-auction, that once in a while something would pop up and catch me off guard.

They all feel like they are catching a falling knife. 

In my experience handling foreclosures and managing properties for lenders and investors, this is one of the biggest breakdown points.At my company, Real360, we perform routine asset inspections specifically to catch early signs of neglect or tenant damage — protecting the owner’s financial interests before things get out of hand.If routine inspections weren’t written into the management agreement, the property management company generally has no legal duty to perform them.

I'm still playing catch-up from all the great contacts (like you!)

They can do this by getting information and the identities of the subto students and gurus so they can program software to catch these. 

If you don't have the money to cover the loss you should look into a short sale, but I see a few problems here - VA is an owner occupant loan no idea how you got this loan to begin with unless you lied about occupying (mortgage fraud), and VA will catch this.

We have done many properties and still don't catch it all . . . starting out, we would have lost our shirts.As others have said, many auctions are cleared the day of the sale so any money you put into a GC quote or other expenses will be gone.Attend a few and see how they work before jumping in especially with someone else's cash at risk It's too many things to name.

The catch: they need to materially participate (track hours, manage bookings, etc.) and the property has to be in service by year-end for 2025 benefits.4.

I hope more investors catch on.
