I know a lot of folks that don't want to be buying in Melrose, and on the other hand I know a lot of folks that are ok with it because they're buying a property in NYC for < $600k. 

I have every empathy for folks who are hurting especially from instances that are from outside of their control, but filing bankruptcy to get out of debt that she chose to sign up for and promise to pay for the sole purpose of getting ahead faster (her story, not mine) seems less than ethical and Bigger Pockets promoting it is questionable.

Since Quest Trust was mentioned several times in this forum, I wanted to let folks know that they are resigning as a plan provider for many account holders as of 7.23.24.

I’ll be speaking on a panel and you’ll meet a lot of folks in your industry locally.

Even if it was a registered charity there's going to be folks paying with failed exchanges, lost money or both.Even their google listing shows "Permanently closed".No - Just...No!!!

But I am sure there are still guru's out there preaching land trusts with no clue of the negative impacts to folks that think they are going to dodge due on sale or the paranoid ones who dont want anyone to know who they are. 

I'm in the Space Coast and we are seeing folks from your part of the State coming up to our part of the State.

Thanks for the insight, I will surely pass this info along to him.Come on folks, its the slow season let hear more about Spirits!

I'm willing to overlook the nonsense and see the value of folks like @Jay Hinrichs that genuinely want to help and have nothing to sell.

Every state has a unique set of laws and regulations regarding the foreclosure process, so your ability to succeed will depend largely on where you're operating.Also, all three of these require advanced skills and background, so I wouldn't necessarily start here.That said, if you do then be sure to get top-notch training and complete deal documentation from folks who have seen at least one full real estate cycle.Rather than specializing so soon in your real estate career, I would instead recommend just getting in front of as many real estate owners with problems.Just getting really good at talking (and listening!)
