The real estate litigation attorney I use is Ms.

@Cole BlackA small clarification on Ms.

I hear that GA, LA, MS, and AL are harder places to invest in. is this true?

What woke me up to needing to do better was being diagnosed with MS late 2017 and having my first child that came 3 months premature that same year.

personal residence with purchase money mortgage there is no deficiency judgement.. commercial loans can go judicial with judgements etc.. as was stated above it can be rare but I have bought sherrif sale properties that were the basis of lenders getting judgements and selling off debtor assets.. plus as a HML in my day we did this.. in dual action states like MS and or TX we would foreclose on the asset then sue on the note..  

@Jerry Maggiore have you looked at tax liens.https://www1.nyc.gov/site/finance/taxes/property-lien-sales.pageI've bought tax forfeited lands here in Mississippi directly from the Secretary of State website.

I developed an MS Access database that does exactly what every investor needs to analyze thousands of properties, do direct mail, bulk, email  write offers and a lot more, but there seems to be some sort of problem where it is said that I am 'self-promoting' if I give the software away, free.

I have spoke to insurance agents in MS and NC, and both times they have given me a ton of information on the neighborhood and surrounding areas.- Find a geographical location that interests you and type that location into the BP search bar. 

just like Katrina wiped out 10 billion board feet of pine in Mississippi. 

I'm only here in Biloxi, MS until the end of June.
