When I was buying homes directly from motivated sellers, using "kitchen table" negotiations, I could directly see in many cases how desperately they needed to be "rescued" while not getting f*cked over. 

I'm sure you are being careful not to make your service look or smell like foreclosure avoidance/rescue services, as you would be required to be licensed by the state of California to do so.

I guess it's a good thing @Joshua Dorkin found @Brandon Turner to rescue him from doing things like this. 

I am sure they would love to act in a preventative way to keep people that hoard safe...imagine trying to rescue someone in that situation!

yup foreclosure rescue is pretty hard to do in Oregon if you actually follow the laws.. the same laws are in CA and WA by the way.sub too with no equity is not really anything you want anyway.. unless the property is sitting on the Wilson or Trask or something.. sub too in small coastal markets need to have substantial equity in my mind to make sense of them.

In the very small chance they it does get auctioned at foreclosure the starting bid is the foreclosure estimate, usually what the bank is owed.These properties are a good target for people who are active enough to find the owner and offer to "rescue" them, offer to payoff their debt, pay them something to buy it out, that is the numbers make sense.

FYI, I volunteer for a dog rescue and don't agree with how they treat the dogs, but I haven't seen the abuse first hand.

This is exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for to help me in my decision making process.BP to the rescue!

Invested in a DST vulture fund that rescues bad DST deals form 2006-2008 (10 year term loans coming due now) ...15% preferred and IRR projected over 30%4.
