That's actually a meaningful silver lining.  

I'll actually answer your questions instead of going on an emotional rant like the poster above.The only caveat is that I'm speaking to how things work in my region, and how wholesalers operate around here.

I actually joined Bigger Pockets a long time ago but haven't been around for a long time.

Cash for keys, screening, and lease enforcement seem crucial, no doubt.I’m curious, though—I've been in rooms with pretty successful multifamily operators, and many of them actually frown upon eviction because of the cost, lost rent, turnover expenses, and time.

I have a variety of contacts and I'm pretty sure I can get in touch with destressed property owners long before auction day (years before auction day actually).

My problem i is my market is super expensive if I stay in the nyc area and I don’t have the confidence since I don’t have any actual experience to invest out of state do you guys think paying off my mortgage would be more beneficial than looking for more rentals .
