@Brett Tousley Hit the socialist on the head with "What would deter me is their homeless problem, socialist city council woman harping about rent control, prices, the traffic and finally the frequent protests."

- If the former owner shows up in court and protests the sale, the Judge will often refuse to confirm the sale and continue the case.- Once the sale is approved and the lender receives a Sheriff’s Deed, then the lender must get the former owners to vacate the property.

They take row boats in protest...They'll show the TSA!

That is a great picture to take to your property tax Appraisal Review Board hearing - you are guaranteed to win your protest!

And wouldnt the second would most likely bid to protest their interest.I've only discounted my notes from face value at the trustee sale auction, so I haven't run into this scenario.

I went for a variance and the neighbors protested and  (NIMBY) I was denied the variance. 

Just pray they don't protest using a pauper affidavit or it can drag on. 

Do you guys protest the increases when this happens?

Protest slide show lists!

If you falter in any way shape or form, you create a "loop-hole" and a Judge can use that "loop-hole" against you if a Tenant protests your actions.
