Quote from @Quinzel Waiters:I would just keep looking and follow up with the person.

Was it real property or personal property?

RE investing has been something I wanted to do personally.

Foreclosures force the owner to sell because missed payments, probate forces heirs to sell a family members home, liens ultimately force a person to sell there homes to pay what they owe in tax/fines etc.

I have been around this personally for years  I was a vendor at Armando Montalongos how to flip houses seminars  a little bit with Rich dad  and lastly with Nick Vertucci's program.. 

We are a boutique firm in Chattanooga and every agent in our firm is personally involved in either real estate development, owns investment properties or flips homes. 

I've heard good things, but not personally worked with them. 

I'm based out of Raleigh and personally own rental properties in Fayetteville, Benson and Clayton and could offer some friendly advice and help out with your journey. 

Some regional cities that I personally would consider are Savannah, Beaufort, Wilmington, Columbia, Greenville, and Charlotte.

we can do it not rented but rate will be significantly higher. easier and more cost effective to rent it. unless the bridge money needs to be paid back asap or you need the funds back to buy more, then a cost analysis needs to be done. personally id get it rented at market rent or a touch below if time is a factor.
