I'm specifically interested in learning how to land a pre-foreclosure deal, but I think I need a structured system for educating myself and have a teacher/mentor for support and to hold me accountable during the process.

I certainly do support what Bigger Pockets does but it's not all about rates.  

Also it appears the company they want to transfer the loans to I looked up on NMLS consumer access is not licensed.... 

I went through Customer Support to get promo code that makes it free.

Consider adding features that support a communal and supportive living environment.This is a good start, as renting properties to sober living homes in Colorado involves thorough preparation, understanding legal requirements, and establishing connections with reputable operators.

First, I completely support doing any deal that is so far below ARV.

Smaller manufacturers and CR support contractors are stinging.

Would a local credit union/bank be able to support this at purchase and/or once the rehab is completed?

The key is to find the structure and support needed to set someone up for success.
