I’m interested in branching out into this area and would like to read as much as possible to gain some further insight.

It’s great to diversify and branch out, but make sure you’ve really nailed down your current investing strategy before starting another one.

Will supply chains be fixed? 

Quick claim deed in the chain.

If there is just nothing good to comp to then they’ll branch out. 

File a police report, block her number and never communicate with her again.Personally I would jerk her chain but would not recommend that to others.

Avalon and Stone Harbor were the ritzy towns, and the Wildwoods were the "slums" of the island chains.

You should do your due diligence (as your buyer should too) and access the risks involved (check the title chain, how long the previous owner held the property, liens, case notifications, etc).

We finally got a hold of her 2 weeks in and said there were title issues with the title chain.

So I called the county recorders office and she told me that the Trustee’s deed upon sale was never recorded and that there is no record of the foreclosure or chain of title in place.I had a copy of the "trustees deed upon sale" from the preliminary report which had stated: "certified by first american insurance company to be a copy of the document recorded on xx/xx/xxxx as instrument no xxxxxxxxxxxx in book page office records of Kern"(I changed the actual info to "x"...the actual info was on the copy of the trustees deed).But the recorders office said that the document that I have has not been recorded, in fact nothing has been recorded on that property.So I got in touch with the escrow company which in turned got me in touch with the title company.The title company blew me off for a week or so until I got a bit vocal and demanded answers.
