When you post, let me/us know if your chronological age plus your real estate experience is greater than 100 years like me.

Knowing what you know now, what would you focus on if you were late to the real estate investing word (chronologically speaking)?

Im about to send my yellow letters out but I'm not sure about the chronological order of the contracts needed.

The chronological details that you give fill in some of the gaps that I have regarding what should happen and when.  

It seems like the order of the liens is according the chronology of when the deeds of trust are recorded at the county, correct?

I read through the summary, and got only a few days into the entire chronology when I had to stop.

This will list, in chronological order, all liens and judgments recorded against the property.

Admittedly, I wouldn't have expected the change in loan that you saw, but an irregularity like that would have just kept me away (the dollars involved might have too, but that is another matter that more depends on market conditions and demand in that price range).Interestingly enough, in my area the properties at sheriff sale are auctioned in sequence based on the lawsuit docket number; lawsuit docket numbers are issued in chronological order based on filing date, with four leading digits to indicate year.

.)- Finally, within each folder I organize chronologically with the newest ones in front.The reason I do it the way I describe above is because I'm usually looking for something for a specific company and I have some clue about when it happened.

A really great lesson and experience to learn.I'm not trying to convince anyone to buy pricey multi-Family buildings in good locations by "House Hacking" it.... but there is merit in the chronological history in what I achieved.I hope this perspective helps the reader of this post to see Investing in other ways than just looking at today's cashflow and with no though about future appreciation.Investor Llew
