It seems like investors strongly bet on appreciation here which I dislike.

I could have found the money I bet, but I was scared to be a landlord.

Buying fent from a stranger is a safer bet. 

Your best bet is to consult with a good broker that has experience with business insurance and RE.

I'm a bit late but want to reach out to the community to see what might be my best bets to get my money back (file judgement, etc.).

I'll bet if you take this strategy on a forum that consists of accredited investors or qualified purchasers, you'd get laughed out immediately.

Memphis has a steady, growing economy, and there’s always demand for rentals, which makes it a great long-term bet.

@Bijan SabbaghiYou don’t that’s the challenge - we pull data from several places as a note holder and for example and currently we see less than 20% actually going to foreclosure as most are ending in bankruptcy right now due to borrowers equityThe ones that are under water are typically going back to the bank.Best bet is to find properties where deceased or maybe divorced to get higher chance of actually going to foreclosure

My bet is they won't be happy about it.  

Some even bet against the market and made a fortune.
