Property #1 is in a family trust (obviously not vacant).Property #2, the woman (at property #1) said “I just saw them last week”.That’s two strikes.

@Courtney Nash, I'm not sure what "going gangsta" really means, but it strikes me as a bit juvenile. 

Strike up that your looking to do some purchases of ___ in ___ area but, struggling and need that leverage to make it happen, and who can you talk to about this right then and there today.     

I hope I hit a home run on that rather than striking out!

Hopefully something you say will strike a chord with them. 

Big profit spread in this model is not a result of lucky strike, like with probates or desperate seller who is dying to get ten cents on a dollar and needs it yesterday.

I checked with the counties and based on the structure, it appears that I will have to strike in that short period after delinquency but before the auction.

Life happens and the goal is to pay it off not down so keep your money where you can get at it if emergency strikes until the big day.

And when know what your doing and striking out on own is an option, you will have the knowledge of how-to vs following what random persons online randomly say. 

Comparing 5 Series to 1 regular LLC strikes me as a loaded comparison.
