Foreclosure Auctions• Attend courthouse auctions: Foreclosure sales are often held at county courthouses and are open to the public.

There are also many organizations that host real estate events that are open to the public - it's just a matter of being added to their email list.

I just responded to this post thinking it would be a serious discussion and I just ended up talking to a Chatbot - https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/1272452-the-f...It eliminates what, in my opinion, is the main purpose of these public forums

What's worked better for me is creating value first - like sharing your lead gen metrics publicly (conversion rates, cost per lead by market) in forums and FB groups.

Document everything from public areas first.

What about areas that have low public school ratings?

Auctions for property are public not private. some states are judicial where the foreclosure auctions are done through the court systems and then the non judicial states they do not go through the courts and either get sold at courthouse steps or the property but must be posted publicly typically for a min. of 3 weeks. 

They mentioned that McDonalds just had a commercial that was AI produced.....it was pulled after negative reaction from the public. 

Networking with local agents, property managers, and contractors there will be key since self-management from afar can be tricky.It’s also awesome that you’re offering your expertise in public markets—definitely a valuable perspective for investors here.
