By the way, should I dress formally?

@Rex Celle, I'm not quite as formal as a dedicated PPT (just jotted down in my notebook), but yes.I haven't really adjusted my 3, 5, 10-year goals, but have adjusted how I plan to get there as I gain knowledge, experience, and insight.

If they still refuse, file a formal complaint and let the state investigate.

What if its a trustee state and not a judicial state?

I doubt the court would allow the former owner to represent you unless you have a formal management agreement.

A mastermind group from my perspective is more formal, and the leader is an expert and would assist in ideas on finding a property, contracting for it etc.

If you don’t mind, I’d be interested in your perspective on the following aspects:1- did you choose formal PM firms, or more of a realtor who does it on the side?

The action to recover the money is a foreclosure depending on what state, it can be judicial or non judicial.

I think though one has to be judicious going forward were you think your going to do it. and make sure you have proper permits.I am building some new construction in Charleston SC right now.. and putting a second home on each lot that I am hoping who ever buys these will take into consideration that they can short term rent those.. thereby pay me more money for my new builds :)

@Kevin Cunningham I do not but am always happy to chat with others less formally
