I don't want to pile on to your credit situation or trying to be a jerk, but my observation is a few things:First, I think you need to really know your numbers and find a way to get some financial literacy to be able to communicate relevant information here a bit more clearly.Second, obviously - fix your credit. 

I’m just speaking into the observations I’ve made over time.

Anyway....Don’t take this post so serious, it’s only an observation over months and months of zero contribution supplemented with uniformed advice. 

Try to take this info and your own personal observations. 

The more they bid up properties the lower the "cap rate" goes (i.e. you can observe this just by doing the math on the formula NOI/value).

Go ahead, I'm repeating what a CPA had said, my observation of a friend getting screwed and my own experience.

I went to one the other day just to observe but not a single person bid on anything so everything went back to the banks.

Greetings I have been to the Tarrant County courthouse to observe and take notes for the last two auctions and I am still confused. 

Hello everyone,I have been on BiggerPockets for a while, but only as an observer.

I just observe it here on BP that after 2015 or so the number of new investor posts has exploded.
