There is a meetup section here on BP but I've noticed that not all meetups are announced every month, or sometimes even at all.  

Once the NCAA made its announcement on Monday, this ACC decision was inevitable.

Some lenders vary and may be up to 1 year.The moderators will probably move this from the 'Official Site Announcements' forum just so you know @Tony Sessa.

An idea that I might try.Write a simple skinny contract of sale one for each propertyMake the contract subject to and contingent on third party assignment.Subject to lien and judgment report (you need to know what is in the chain of title)Get good comps, you need to know the estimate market valueNeed to determine the estimate potential equity Once you get a list of liens, attempt to negotiate a discount; write an option to purchase the liens at the negotiated discount.Negotiate with a local auction company to sell them at public auction; auction them all in one day.The auction should be a "reserve" sale, the reserve is UNDISCLOSED TO THE PUBLICThe terms of the auction; as is, all cash and subject to the approval of lien and judgment holders and record ownerUse banking days in your contract (gives you more time to close)Make certain you use an auctioneer who sells real estate regularly and has a god reputationQuestions to the auctions company; how often to you sell real estate, where would you advertise the sale (news papers, internet, radio, etc. for how long will you advertise, can you give me an advertising proposal, how much advertising cost will you charge me, how do you get paid 1. flat fee, a buyer's premium, seller commission, do you cooperate with agents, how soon can you have the auction, what size signs will you install (sign on the property should be large, maybe a banner on the buildings), how many directional signs will you install, what deposits would you recommend (too high of a deposit will discourage bidding), will you mail post cards to selected areas, will you hand deliver brochures to businesses in the area, will they be black and white or color, will you give me a list of all inquires receivedYour should preview the auction company's disclosures and contractsAuctioneer should disclose and announce at the sale that the sale is an assignment sale.Auction sales should be conducted in front of the house, inspection should be one hour befor the live All high bids should be taken (even if the price is way lower than expected, this gives you and opportunity to negotiate with all  in the chain of title

(Big Announcement at the end!)

East Coast Credit Fund to Invest $250 Million Across Patch of Land Real Estate PlatformLeading online marketplace lender is poised to accelerate growth in 2016 through institutional commitment to purchase loans February 10, 2016 09:03 AM Eastern Standard TimeLos Angeles--(Business Wire)--Patch of Land, a leading online marketplace lender for real estate, today announced that an East Coast credit fund has signed an agreement to purchase loans in a forward flow arrangement. 

Maybe I'm too much of a dreamer.I remember when Lending Club was announcing FolioFN and more than a few were writing it off as a fad or feature that would soon die.

Keep our eyes peeled for the next announcement in the 'Networking Events' section.  

No, I don't think this area will make a resurgence because of the recent development announcements.
