Out of state investing can be great, especially for cash flow.

It was a tradeoff, I was willing to make that I could not have made when starting out with no funds.

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?

Hey @Stephanie Medina, this comes up fairly regularly and is really an individual situation.

The successful wholesalers are the ones that are direct with the seller and have done an analysis on the deal to show it can be a successful investment (always double check with your own)totally agree, I would add the don't act sketchy and present their available homes in a consistent/professional manner to buyers. 

Buy something in a place where you will like to vacation in and hire out the management.

This is such a great community and we value all the comments!

Yes it's hard to price this out without knowing the property details and what grade materials you’re using etc. 

But post locally for this.

If this is for real, I strongly suspect you'll need to be an accredited investor.
