Effectively creating an artificial back log of properties in default that are not being processed.When the foreclosure process resumes, I expect there to be a surge of sales and a rush of opportunities.So how can we get ahead of the crowd?

I'm a Citizen Soldier in the Army National Guard and an Emergency Medicine physician.

Because you're in the bay area you're probably investing far enough away that it won't be something you drive to regularly anyway and in that case the state line is an artificial border you've set for yourself. 

My cleaner sets up artificial trees that I bought for the cabins with some decorations and some lights and ribbon etc. on them.  

Needing some information on but-fix- and flip properties in Alberta specially Medicine Hat.

(Engineering, law, medicine...)I know sometimes it feels lke you could be using those four years to build a business, but having a college degree is always a good failsafe and those four years are also the best four years in many people's live where they meet lots of good hardworking people as well.

Home loans interest rates are artificially low because the US is using home loans to inflate the money supply ( the FED is buying billions of dollars of home loans because it is cheaper and easier than printing money  -- study fractional reserve banking and fiat money if you don't believe me)   Without the artificially low interest rates, demand for homes would drip (and so would home prices).   

@Cam Vankerkhovev Thanks I read your profile introduction and you seem like just the dose of medicine I may need to get motivation enough to get to a local meeting.

Maybe this is strictly a West Coast thing, where the market has so long been artificially crimped by reams of local regulations and incompetent politicians?

Personally, I’d send a letter once convicted of a real crime (not the medicine one as mentioned, but a real crime) to the property trying to terminate the lease to what seems like bad tenants.
