I ultimately decided to invest out of state where the numbers made sense for me. 

Contacting the trustee to give a message to the lender (The foreclosing entity) is the only thing they are going to do but, ultimately, that's a waste of time as well.

However, the "best" market is ultimately the one where you can assemble the strongest real estate investment team—that's what really counts!

At the end of the day, everyones ultimate goal is to become the bank and simply lend out a pile of money and collect a return rather than having to do the grunt work of making these assets perform.

If a broker/agent ultimately takes on relationships that suck the life and energy out of them and do not make them happy then long term it is not good for their well being or career. 

I know you've been booked up till now but sometimes we have to refresh, just like refreshing your listing on the OTA's to boost searches.

Ultimately, if the buyer defaults and backs out of the deal, you would be entitled to the earnest money.

@Bubba McCantsWe have clients in the Reno Tahoe, NV area that are taking a bit of hit on the cash flow because of the above average appreciation growth boosted by tech jobs and people moving from CA.

You can make money self managing in good areas though at 25 down after cosmetic updates to boost rents, I have a building I only visited twice.

If you fit this category or the "tier 2" category ($500k-$650k), feel free to DM me and we can see if it'd be a good fit to work together and discuss the process.As a sneak peak, as I don't post or share numbers with non-signed clients, we tend to see 10-25% CoC returns depending on YOU: what you do or do not contribute and the finished product you choose to make ultimately.
