Nothing wrong with that, but it's really nothing more than a job, and most like it that way.Let's face it - investing is a bit trendy now.

If they are going to make people using SDIRAs face the compliance hurdles that someone like me faces, THAT would be crazy and basically kill this practice entirely.

What foreclosure protection law concerns do I face? 

Barely 1% in an area not know for appreciation.

Front side has a picture of my lovely face, company name and contact details.The back of the card needs a tagline to explain what I do.

There were lots of new faces, and good info shared.See you next month!

Can the opening bid be set for more than the face value of the loan?

<g> And don't forget; that generous looking 6% commission can easily become a barely-worth-it 1 1/2% commission less expenses once they split with everybody.Also; Realtors are conditioned to think "MLS" when they are looking for properties I think, and the ones who aren't can't devote much time to bird dogging properties.

Its much like going to the Foreclosure sales on the court house steps 100 people milling about with their lists and newspapers and 5 of us buy all the houses each and every week.. same amount of people there every week just new faces. 

It will likely be more difficult and require more bravery than most new investors face but it's all about determination and it sounds like you've got that for sure!
