The asset management Co ppl that have decision-making power are buried DEEP within the labyrinth AND there are layers of rigmarole around them like layers of an onion.

I'd try reaching out to Rick H. here on Bigger Pockets and see if he can give you some tips.Another resource to pursue would be contacting the REO department of the lender that foreclosed and see if you can get through the labyrinth of extensions and transfers to someone who can actually give you some solid advice.

Will I emerge victorious from this real estate labyrinth, or will I be forever lost in the sea of "what ifs"?
