Hi Scott - thank you for your response... it kills me to admit this publicly, but i had/have a gambling problem.

We will keep your home on our favorites list.  

Is there a page on BP.com that lists all the books mentioned (and frequency) by each podcast guests' Final Four questions "what's your favorite real estate/business book"?

I was not a savvy investor when I started and I basically looked at a dozen properties and picked me "favorite" that didn't include any sophisticated analysis.

So again like I said one of my favorite stories on BP..

Most junior lien holders that initiate foreclosure, do it for one of two purposes. 1) because they have ran the numbers and know that if it reverts back to them, there is sufficient equity to pay off the first and then sell it on the open market to recover their expenditures. 2) (My favorite) is to catch unsuspecting bidders asleep at the wheel, that will bid, and then take them out (junior lien holder) and then be faced with the senior.

The ugly ones sit on the market longer...of course those are my favorite. 

Monopoly was always my favorite board game. 

However, with the quoted rate often being an average, what are your favorite resources to delve deeper into the components of the average? 

If I found myself owning a house with a negative cash flow that I didn't want to sell at market value and take a loss on, the first thing I would look at doing would be to sell it to someone on a lease option.Usually it works like this, I find someone who has income but some credit problems that wants to buy a house.They are willing to pay more in monthly payments and I hold the extra money and apply it to their down payment.I work with them for the next few years to clean up their credit.Then when they have built up a down payment, I have their credit cleaned up and I take them to a bank and get them a new loan and they purchase the house.That's my favorite way to sell a house for more than market value.It's a win-win situation for everyone.
