Are you actually living in Cincy?

In terms of actual areas in the bay, do folks recommend one of the following:South Bay <SC, Sunnyvale>; East Bay <Berkeley>; TriValley <Dublin> or SFOr would you recommend sitting on the sidelines, wait and watch, and do a HYSA/CD to see how/where the market heads ?

It is my understanding that if you enter into the lease knowing of the foreclosure and placing a tenant anyway, then the lease is essentially deemed invalid as you and the tenant knew that it was a matter of time before they were evicted.Also there is an assignment of rents in residential mortgages as well, and doing this may open you up to a lawsuit by the mortgage holder since you essentially stole potential rent from them.And finally if the plan is actually to buy an HOA lien and wait until a foreclosure, I think that falls under unethical practices and would never do that, or encourage anyone else to either.

All my portfolio is actually in Sugar Land, Katy, Cypress and Spring. 

Most BRRR investors in these forums equate return of capital as a success which is is not indicative of actually realizing a gain, especially in low barrier markets.

Thanks Bill, I actually got a better rate on insurance , and rents will go up slightly.

Really need the actuals and put the numbers through stress tests. 

Ask if the person you are dealing with is actually the one who is listed on the contract as the buyer, or an LLC of their's.  

You see, the property is not actually mine; it belongs to a good friend and his wife.

The former is not possible unless it's a very remote piece of land.
