One thing you may do though is try to follow sales that are not northwest trustee's or other bid trustee services concentrate on the ones that are done by small attorney firms. sometimes those fly under the radar.But I got out of this back in 07 08 and rolled into HML made better returns with the capital than I did in the foreclosure bizz in PDX.. way to much competition and that was right went vestus fairplay and the like came on the scene.
