Track down the new owner of the debt to complete the short sale and wake a sleeping creditor who doesn't need to play ball; or ignore it somehow (bad title company) and the new parties in interest get foreclosed from first lien position by somebody just waiting for the opportunity to squeeze everyone.

It is hard work and takes a long time to get the ball rolling. 

@Andrew Lax I just used google and looked up California ( sf Bay Area ) and it’s said and every 40 year appreciation of 6 percent, I have no crystal ball but if history repeats itself then I may not be to far from real numbers , who knows ? 

The winter and summer temperatures wouldn't work letting a rabbit roam in the garage.

That might lead you to check the Lis Pendens (first step in foreclosure process) filings weekly or monthly and contacting those owners to see if they want to play ball!

Rising temperatures, increased frequency of wildfires, and more severe weather events have heightened awareness about environmental safety.

I haven't purchased through here, and they have actually rejected my low ball cash offers (lol) - but I have talked to some people who took his rehab training course, and they have nothing but great things to say.

Noone has a crystal ball but rates supposedly are coming down in 2025 that should be enough time for you to do whatever you have to do if your credit is below 750. 

At a glance, a pool would serve more guests, especially in hot temperatures like the markets you mentioned. 

However, life threw a curve ball and now my family is moving back to Germany for 2-4 years!
