It was a great learning experience for me and luckily it was mostly cosmetic work, so a good entry into the flipping scene I think.The only issue I am seeing in such a big military town is the amount of inventory on the market and how long property is staying on the market.

I've yet to find a Ferrari left in the garage although the home across the street left a Maserati (begore they they were good again), Point is, rarely is there anything worth messing with.My objective is to relocate so as there is no reason for former tenant to return to the property and risk a dramatic scene or an attempt at re-possession.

I am kind of new to the real estate investment scene and wanted to formally introduce myself (long time lurker).

I am planning to visit to scope out the scene mid-February.

Here is what has been going on behind the scenes. 

I'm currently finishing up my first flip in Pittsburgh, in upper lawrenceville. I'm looking to take 150k and pick up some rental properties but I'm going back and forth on sfr or multi unit. I'm definitely looking to ...

I have scene rates both lower and higher but the average is about $700 an year.

So there's only one or two attorneys representing the lion share of the sales.I guess the best advice for @Jay G. would be to call the trustee and get their requirements beforehand and go to a few of these to scope the scene. 

It drives the prices up and before these larger auction companies came on the scene we were able to work closer and easier with the lender to put deals together.

I am new to the investing scene in Northern Colorado and I am wondering if there are any seasoned investors out there that can tell me what the average agent commission is in the area?
