I concentrate on buying properties in NW Denver suburbs (Arvada, Westminster, Thornton, Northglenn, and Broomfield), but occasionally find houses in Boulder County/Longmont areas.Most of my deals over the last three years were REOs, but those recently dropped of the face of the earth (or at least in Denver).

If they're later than that and don't call, he will not be there....unless there are others there at the same time.We schedule as many showings as possible for the same day/time, to minimize the number of times our contractor has to go to the property.Even with the best process, there will be occasional no-shows who confirmed.

It will keep our bloated government from buying paper that no sane private institution would buy because they are pushing for an "ownership society."

People get assaulted and shot in the neighborhood occasionally, but this happens at 2am and alcohol is normally involved.

Occasionally a small one {typically owned by a non-investor} might make it to a wholesaler or agent, but I would be instantly wary of any building being brought to us in this manner as it would be unlikely to be a good deal.

My goals are to own rental properties preferably multi family's and do some flips occasionally.

This is definitely a nuanced question as:       -Dodd Frank is broad, huge, and bloated and as such+Helps regulate in a positive way in many cases+Helps regulate in a negative and stiffling way in many cases+Uses way too many colors to paint a very confusing picture, which must be hung on the wall both of the small lender, as well as the largest of instutions.Repealing it will both harm and help.  

Throw in an occasional roof, water heater, furnace and $900 for a 3 bed 1 bath house seems like the bargain of the century. 

When loan was made and property offered as collateral, it is possible that title or escrow, then lender, missed something;Blown sale or defect in foreclosure, occasionally procedural but usually concerns noticing;Or, Secured creditor or entitled claimant challenging bank's foreclosure.There may be other reasons.

Still plenty of $1m+ (including the occasional $10m) but the demographics are terrible.
