To avoid pitfalls, research liens, check property conditions, and set a max bid before buying.

Quote from @Red Smith: Sheriff Sales are conducted by counties, so each county will have its own individual rule set for how the auction is conducted.

I met with Wicked Smart today and was told they help you set up a lead sourcing system, help you structure creative financing - which is essentially lease option/purchase, subject to and owner financing....all strategies I am interested in learning more about.

Ideas for some of the paragraphs: - Future Setting: where you live, what you see from your front porch or backyard, what your kitchen/gym look like. - Family: Kids? 

I would have set aside much more if i knew what a pain that would be.

Nothing is set in stone yet, so I’m open to suggestions on how to navigate this situation.Thanks in advance, BP community!

This is a good tenant of 5+ years, and I don’t want to cause unnecessary friction (I’m just trying to set up automatic systems for myself).

A phone call will answer all the questions or a quick visit is better, set an appt. 

Self managing is a solid way to learn the business, and it’s smart that you’re already setting up systems and tools. 

Sounds like a problem with setting expectations.
