He is trying to sell me on Treasure Island and other beaches further north that sell for less. 

Of course value is somewhat subjective - one man's gold is another man's treasure - but RE values can generally be quantified, meaning that a reasonably knowledgeable person can take serious advantage of a person without knowledge.

If the subsequent lienholder is aware that you are about to get the property, he may pay off your lien and wait until he can foreclose.When you foreclose, if you notify the mortgageholder (or anyone with an interest in the property) and they do not redeem the lien (pay the tax), you get Treasurer's deed free & clear.What I don't get is someone I know in AZ doesn't foreclose the mortgage so I assume he wants to assume the mortgage.Could also be the property is in bankruptcy.

Is there someone in the treasure coast area in Florida that can take me under their wing and guide me in the right direction of how to flip houses for profit without rehab.
