@Ryan LaurettaI agree with @Taylor L. and I feel the best investments and syndicators are the ones that do not formally advertise.

I have been creeping in the background of bigger pockets long enough and wanted to formally introduce myself.

This isn't a court case yet, and if you choose the court route, you're subject to a judicial foreclosure, which has its own set of nightmares and redemption periods (even in California).

Hopefully the difficult neighbor realizes that it’s not worth the time/expense to involve the judicial system.

The agent explains to the occupant that it's just a formality.

Say opening US bank account, any other formalities like execution of contract, mortgage deed etc..Thanks for helping 

The new owner will need to pay those debts, so adequate research before the purchase is critical to avoid obtaining a property whose debt outweighs its overall value.If no buyer is found during the upset tax sale period, the county's Tax Claim Bureau may ask the local court to schedule a judicial sale.

You've given them another reason to FC since there was a property transfer without their consent.The lender will most likely take the path of least resistance: take the property to Judicial Sale and file a claim for any loss.

And you'll have your money sitting idle for 180 days if the property does get redeemed.Pros: (assuming the property is already vacant or occupied by tenants, and no legal disputes with the homeowners)- It could be a lot cheaper buying process since there is no formal closing process.

You have an inspection period but you will not conduct a formal inspection with a inspector.
