Consequently, not all filing will be published in adjudicated newspapers.The other issue that we have here in CA is that the primary asset is not identified in the legal pub unless it's listed under a Notice of Sale, in which case, someone's beat you to the property and your only remaining chance is to either win an overbid or win by way of a buyer who does not perform and defaults on the contract.About the only thing legal pub does is notify the world that a private has been opened (notice to creditors).

As @Marcia Maynard mentioned, winning and collecting are two different things. 

Win, win, win for everybody?!

If it doesn't, at least I'm spreading the risk across other high income individuals... who can all chip in to help weather any storms...If it does work out, well, then we all win!

sounds like a win win situation good luck.

Well, I bet her that her first deal wouldn't close within 2 months; one month down, and I still reckon I will win that bet (of course with wholesaling, you not only have to track down a decent deal for other investors, you also have to pin one of those investors down)...

If you win the auction you will have to sign the most unilateral contract you have ever seen.

I agree with slow and steady wins the race.

@Jason Borowy - if it is a large bank, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, etc, then no, you have a better chance of winning the lottery.

Keep in mind that the highest net to HUD wins so try to make your net as attractive as possible keeping in mind that the numbers need to work.
