Note too that in Wake County, unlike decades past, there is no meaningful "foreclosure discount" (defined as the fact that winning courthouse bid prices were generally (historically) much lower due to the forced sale feature of NC statutes and Deed of Trust Power of Sale clauses) and this is confirmed by a recent Fannie Mae study. 

You need a pitch to win in a personal letter.

The competition, the feeling when you win, the grind to be the best.

Would you be able to provide some guidance with regard to do title search and the next steps after you win the bid???

Investing requires TIME, patience, and it's not instant.

It is a no-win situation for the landlord.
