Currently several groups are trying to attract more industry.

I prefer tax defaults since I've personally found NODs and NTS are bombarded with other competition.

Auburn Hills has quite a bit of industry with GM, Oakland University, OCC, and other various engineering companies.

I've never been a big fan of competitive bidding when I am a buyer, hence all the way out strategies that I employ.

That being said, if a property is not in foreclosure and the estate is not yet opened, the competition is minimal.  

Man I was good in the day  LOL... but I got trained by some pro's  its the one thing I think is very lacking in this industry today is not taking sales training class's paying for good instruction.. you have all these people spending 1000's on direct mail etc but have no sales or closing skills. and these are not god given you must learn them..

Just like with automotive repair places, lawyers, and even rehabbers, because of a bad few the industry as a whole gets a bad wrap.

One thing I've learned over the years in working with different types of people, from all different industries, is to follow my gut instinct.

It's a brand new industry group.

But I do have over 26 years invested in the carpet floor industry and spent a couple years doing professional custom house painting.
