That was a couple of weeks ago and now just a couple of days ago I see a Realty sign out front with bidder select with a inflated price but public records show how much the lender foreclosed on.

on your plan only thing i might add is any education / certification that will support your goals (ie RE agent license) because that will require time and effort as well

If they choose to interpret it as you do and end up in front of a judge someday, then we will know the answer, possibly.Any Texas Brokers or RE Educators have an opinion on it?

They begin title work, calling the attorney changing the trustee if necessary to commence the process, prepare notices for publication, all that adds up, it costs money to do all that.

There are lots of "educators" who prey on folks who want quick and easy riches.For most of us real estate is just one form of investment.

Another way you can find an owner is using public records to find the name of the owner.

I've been keeping my eye open so that when I am ready to purchase something in a few months I am better educated on what is a 'good deal', so I've looked at single family homes, town homes, and multi family homes (mostly duplexes with a few 3 or 4 unit properties mixed in).

I was just having a conversation with a business partner of mine about Montgomery County and some of the demographic and educational shifts over the past few years. 

If you're only going to own the property for a couple of months, then a higher interest/lower monthly payment loan would be what I would suggest.However, If you're buying equity with the hope of seeing a larger payday further down the road, then you'd want a lower-interest conventional financing loan that you can pay principal down on as quickly as possible, but at that point, you're a buy-and-hold investor and not a flipper.Honestly, the best thing to invest in is education.

Clients today are well educated and have taken back the power.”Measure twice, buy onceIf you’re going to take your design into your own hands, you’ll need to do your research.
