You can usually request this from a title company or look into public records in your county’s clerk or recorder’s office.If you’re not sure how to navigate this, contacting the auction house or a real estate attorney familiar with foreclosure auctions can help ensure there aren’t surprises.

This ensures that any settlement check will be issued to you AND the tenant - and that you can interact with the insurance provider.  

It’s a smart choice if you want to streamline operations and ensure a consistent, high-quality guest experience without being hands-on 24/7.I'd be happy to share more ideas.

So its either all cash, findings those needle-in-a-haystack lenders, or would need to be some other creative structure

Additionally, lenders may require a release price (a specific amount to pay down the loan) for each property sold, which can complicate the strategy.It’s worth discussing these details with a trusted lender or mortgage broker to ensure the plan aligns with the loan’s terms.

Whether it's considered an arm's length transaction is debatable, but it's not illegal.Move forward with the sale and ensure full transparency with all involved parties, including your CPA.

MLS-listed deals are a bit harder to find, so investors here have had to get more creative in sourcing deals either through their own hustle (door-knocking, website, direct mail, driving for dollars) or finding good wholesalers to feed them deals. 

It also scrapes MLS for properties sitting 90+ days and reaches out to sellers who might be open to creative financing.Another big one: it sends out offers in bulk, tracks responses, and helps me focus on the ones that actually move forward.

Insurance is definitely one of the parts that can be creative and save you a lot of money!
