Alot of unknowns as you don't have the ability to walk the property beforehand, but interesting process, and pretty good deals exist there.While the Trustee Sales are cash purchases, there are many hard money options that can turn over the funds in time for the 24 hour funding required to complete the purchase.If you are interested, let me know and I can go into more detail, as well as make some other suggestions for you to consider. 

If you didn't actually get any money, how do you know for sure they are a real legit lender? 

However, we've found that for the most part, shopping directly with these suppliers will save you so much money.

I fired them last year.I just opened my mail to find a notice from a COLLECTION AGENCY stating I owed them money.

Just underwrite a refinance assuming about 30-36% of the money you will receive goes to refinance closing costs at worst, and find discounts when you can.

Multiple vehicles of storing money; fixed income, equities, crypto, alt investments, real estate, etc.What avenue makes the most sense for you to get into real estate?

This is the scenario:I buy a fixer with some hard-money.

An example would be mixing your personal and LLC money in the same bank account.3.

Hope is a bad strategy.The only on market strategy that I think can work is paying cash/line of credit/hard money for a property that does not qualify for conventional financing.

Right now, the best offers around me are for some 1.3-4 million, that only generated around 100k per year gross, so there would be a high chance of not cash flowing, and paying money, especially with a commercial loan (these buildings have more than 4 units).I was thinking that although the rental itself does not generate money, I would be able to deduct the mortgage interest, and depreciation from my personal w2 income and would be net positive.
