Ron's company has my name from an online web marketing conference I "attended."

I was reading online and saw that FHA Loans accept auctioned homes but that got me thinking.

They can either download the app or use a unique url to pay online. 

Attend local real estate investment meetups, join online forums, and seek advice from experienced investors.

The online realtor sites give you dates but they are usually in the past and always have a disclaimer that " Auction time and dates can change".

In the meantime I did a lot more digging online and found some helpful things.

Do you mean you went online to look up options on consumer facing sites like Zillow etc?

We bought much of the furniture new, choosing premium quality for the main rooms, and supplemented with discount deals online or some lightly used items.

Purchase was $188k and has been depreciated for 12 years to date.The online Capital Gains calculators show an outright sale losing over 30% to capital gains, depreciation recapture and the 3.8% Medicare tax (an extra stick in the eye).

Read through the court documents online and it doesn't appear that the owner on title attended any hearings or tried to stop the foreclosure.
