(A healthy read on that notion is Ray Dalio's Work and Life Principles - most of his life he has been looking to predict the future of markets, commodities and economies and he failed a few times on a massive scale; one of his key messages: being radically open minded and discussing a topic with someone who has polar opposite views and trying to understand their rational is the single best way to test your assumtions.)Hate to say it but BP is contributing to this problem: it makes me almost angry every time I see a new blog with a catchy title, such as: "512% profit on my first deal!"

Always use a warranty deed to avoid any issues with the tittle insurance when transferring tittle.Also, Ive recently learned Fannie Mae allows transfer of tittle to an LLC without accelerating the note...Fannie updated their servicing guide to state:Unless the previous borrower requests a release of liability, the servicer must process the following exempt transactions without reviewing or approving the terms of the transfer:· A transfer of the property to a limited liability company (LLC), provided that § the mortgage loan was purchased or securitized by Fannie Mae on or after June 1, 2016, and the LLC is controlled by the original borrower or the original borrower owns a majority interest in the LLC, and if the transfer results in a permitted change of occupancy type to an investment property, such change does not violate the security instrument (for example, the 12 month occupancy requirement for a principal residence).

It depends on the bank, they will either:1) already know the property is worth say $150k, so they’ll bid up to maybe $130-140kOR2) they’ll just automatically bid up to the judgment amount, take the property back, then hand it over to an REO agent to sell or put it on one of the national REO auction platforms.No real way to predict.
