Good luck!

We wanted to get in early to get a good deal.

You're not in the position to be a cash buyer...as a former wealth manager, it's simply not a good play for you for many of the reasons stated above and more.  

Too many really good prices, then the shipping kills it.

Also, Since my buy box is pretty narrow, even though I’m pretty good at doing the title research myself, I’ll still pull a title report for each one.

My question is this: before the am date of the auction 3 weeks from now, is there any way to find out if the mortgage has been paid and brought back to be in good standing, hence avoiding foreclosure and removed from the auction altogether?

Good luck & happy investing!

Good Day BiggerPockets crew!

All good reading and listening, education is best and if you want to learn you have to ingest as much information as possible.I read many books that helped me, but my go-to is listeining to at least 2hrs of podcast with real examples per day.One very important things that "want-to-be" fails is to understand that real estate has many different specialities, so you have to focus your time in your real project.

Good point on the generational differences How much experience do you have in management?
