You could get an ex-parte hearing in family law by your attorney (assuming you have one) and get into court right away due to the looming foreclosure.The only potential good news down the road...or...I should say less bad news is that if she gets it, you could show the decree to a new lender, showing you are not responsible for it.

I think it comes down to doing good business Vs. doing bad business.

But as far as investing, i feel there's really no bad place up and down the Grand Strand.

But thinking "hey I set this appointment and it's worth going on even if she says no" and "well 30 grand off shouldn't offend her too bad." 

In my experience, investing out of state in a single family or small multifamily is fraught with risk:1) You won't be an expert in the area (unless you've lived there)2) You have serious tenant risk (1 bad tenant can ruin years of returns)3) Good quality, small asset property managers are tough to come by

I can only imagine how bad it can be with 10-15 flips a year.

Now, if you start looking at multi's and comment that they are in bad areas, then you don't know Las Vegas very well.

I have had a lot of people tell me to stay away from conversions as they have bad vacancy rates, do not rent as well as traditional duplexes and are a lot more work than traditional duplexes/triplexes ect.... 

Under the table can get bad. 

Every landlord should make it a policy to not only evict bad tenants but also follow through with small claims.
