The gist of the process I used: educate myself (yourself), do my (your) own due diligence, eliminate the crud, run potential acquisition targets by the closing paralegal, then work with the closing attorney to work out the title exceptions (if any) and negotiate with lien holders.

Do an goo job and this turns into people seeking you out, looking to sell contracts they are holding, instead of you chasing a random, one time note holder seeing if they just might want to sell.

Visa versa, if you have deals but no money you also aren't getting anywhere.

All tenants are immigrants so I am unsure of what screening is done by the employer other than they've obviously been approved for a visa.

As we approached Aug 7th both I and the sellers were fully aware this would not close as lien settlements had not yet been reached with the lien holders.

Failure to follow the regulations may result in a judge "piercing" your entity and allowing creditors/judgment holders to go after you personally.

-The surplus from the 2nd mtg foreclosure, if there is any, typically goes to 1) any junior lien holders…if none 2it goes to the owner.
