Redemption is only a major risk if the record owner claims defective notice and $50K + equity at stake.The way I work these is to skip trace and buy any and all rights for redemption and I also claim overbid, thereby working both sides like a Russian Military Arms dealer.

Yeah I want to try and work under someone for starters I might be able to get some contacts too, I have a cousin in Fort Wayne, he was doing real estate there when he was about 25 years old he had multi million dollar deal going on building a whole area of like 250 homes for low cost living, but the lady he was working with at the Bank was some Russian woman or something, & she stole all the money when the deal was going down and left the country and my cousin was under fraud investigation by the FBI that got dropped after 5 years or so, But i'm sure he knows some of the locals that are reputable. 

Given that I'll be living in this property I do not want to buy in Mountain View, Fairview, Russian Jack, and certain parts of Muldoon.

As famous Russian proverb says - morning is wiser than night - this morning when I looked at the problem it was very clear that, of course, I should stay with my agent.Also the owner who is selling an apartment called me , he is an investor himself, he bought an apartment from the bank, fixed it and selling it.
