Good job Champion!

Sometimes you are better off making the offer through a third party, lawyer or agent, you want to be arms length to be safe.Try to inspect the property before bidding, sometimes the mortgagor (owner) will damage the property just to get even with the mortgagee (lender), like removing all the dry wall, pouring cement down the commode, blocking the vent line (from the roof) with a tennis ball (keeps toilet from working right), short circuiting the electrical system, over flowing the sinks....etc.Be aware you are paying interest from the date of the sale until settlement, if it take the bank 6 months to ready this property for transfer, it could cost you thousands of dollars.Be very careful............ it is easy to make a mistake......look at the property, talk to owner, talk to trustee and auctioneer, read the contract before bidding.2) How do I prepare for the auction?

It doesn't help that since I work in IT, I wear tennis shoes and jeans.

This one has really made us look into our core operations and tighten up a ton of loose ends.I was told by one of mentors that its times like these when true champions are born :)When the going gets tough the tough get going and that's what we have done.Thanks again and have a great day.

No basketball courts near units, close the tennis court and pool at or before 10:00 PM, open at 8:00/9:00 AM.

Quote from @Liam Tennies: Typically we, as investor agents, don't recommend going into D or C- class areas given the management headaches they come with and the amount of repairs & maintenance they require, but if you have done it before and know what you're getting into, that's the biggest thing, so go for it! 

There is only one Superbowl champion, which is the Eagles.

On the west side is a public park with tennis courts. 

A house a few doors down from that and across the horse trail has a 2 story tennis house that is far larger than many of my rental units but in a small footprint.  

I'm looking to buy an investment property in the desert of CA, for high end renters who come for tennis and Coachella.
