Maybe some sort of legal action I can pursuit on my end.

If your going to be a flipper, get a broker to find out what the market is doing and continue with your pursuit of finding properties to flip on your own as well.

Or, because this is actually a pretty decent purchase, maybe you DID think those things through, but just did not fully optimize for the pursuit of early financial freedom.

I had a hunch the whole time to keep and rent out since renters where drastically looking for nice places to rent.It took the bank over 2 years to foreclose on the property.I look back now and realized the money I loss being scared.I heard Trump say back in 2007 on television, to never give up real estate.Now I know I should’ve applied the strategy I had back then and would most likely still own that property and enjoying at least an $800 a month cash flow.So I’m back to real estate investing and this time in pursuit to do great things and not be scared.

Is there a recommended priority you would give to my pursuits?

@Mark MaisonneuveFirst off congratulations on two fronts; your engagement and your pursuit of Real Estate. 

Now, I don't want to downplay the role of your personal 'why' - however, in every potential transaction you take part on from this day forward, the 'why' you should concern yourself most with is that of the sellers.As we learn more and more about artful tactics to employ in our impassioned pursuit of the next investment, we must never underestimate the power of truly understanding WHY the seller is selling.

Here’s where I’m going: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/8160/69274-time-to-reflect-time-to-set-2018-goals-and-begin-pursuit Like you, I have a W2 but I do want to make REI full time.

Good luck in your pursuits.

Best wishes to you in the pursuit of your goals.
