..It is recommended, any attorney to play for this?..

This greatly discourages any transfer of title until litigation is resolved and most title companies will not issue clear title during this time as the title is in play.  

thank you for your time.I'm sure there are other worst case scenarios that could play out if the investor defaults.

Continuous learning is essential, and networking plays a crucial role in this industry.

I think this could play into a strength in terms prospecting and finding deals.

I always down played how well I did to not encourage others in my area, but since LA is changing their system in 2026 it doesn't matter now and my tax sale buying, in LA any way, will be coming to a conclusion soon.

I am okay playing the long game and waiting for the benefits of market appreciation but in the time being would like an average CF return (not prioritizing CF). 

Find a mentor that will let you shadow them, continue learning on Bigger Pockets, and TRACK things that matter.Please don't get discouraged...real estate is a long-term play. 

My primary question is: Should I focus on buying a multifamily property and growing slowly to build a stable financial foundation, even though my area would have minimal cash flow and be more of an appreciation play?

@Alan HaleCan’t answer number 2 but financing has nothing to do with your profit I’m it doesn’t matter what you buy whether a car, home or pack of toothpicks, your profit is what you paid for it minus your costs/expensesWhere financing does come into play is it is a cost as money is not free - but it’s only what you have paid for that financing.Hope that makes sense
