I am looking to establish a track record with a short sale lender, so if and when credit gets tight, I can have access to funding for short sales.

Agree with @Mike McCarthy on keeping track with good records on a spreadsheet.

You were the attorney of record on a a transaction wIth me You represented Miguel on 25 Macarthur Ave in Lodi.

As for their number, say you got it from public records.

It might also help to take the pressure off yourself and know that you only have to have the 91k reinvested fast- the rest you can do more research and make different decisions.Somewhat unrelated, I am very excited about the book "Profit First" and using Mike M's method of organizing my RE income.

If the property is homestead and located in FL, the seller could record a notice of homestead.

She knows what she’s talking about and has an inspiring track record to prove it!

I would be inclined to keep renting to them, but have several inspections per year to make sure things are getting worse and try to get them to clean up their act some and address the extra cat.You could make it a requirement that they clean up their mess (or at least organize it) before you will renew their lease.

Just this week I had a client convert a flip into a rental after it sat on the Oakland market for over a month at a price that would have yielded fairly low profit, and this is someone with a track record of successful flips in years past.So I guess this is neutral-to-good news if you're doing buy-and-hold and finding a way not to compete with the owner occupants bidding based on emotional appeal inspired by a reality TV show, but bad news if you're trying to be the next HGTV rockstar flipper paying MLS prices. 

As such you only see the notice of trustee sale, which in addition to being sent to the owner via certified mail is also posted at the courthouse, and recorded with the county.We typically refer to properties that have the Notice of Sale filed as "Scheduled for Auction" or "Auction", to differentiate that stage from the earlier notice of default stage, which we refer to as "Preforeclosure" This means that in states where the notice of default is either not public, like Texas, or is combined into a single notice, like Oregon, we never show properties as "Preforeclosure".
