To really contribute here, I think my best bet is to try to remember:a) Not everyone knows what I know-- no matter how basic-- and to try to share detailed information on what I've done as time permits and,b) Remember that it's not just about the nuts and bolts and the how-to, but about keeping the right attitude, and bearing in mind that my own unique way of looking at something and my own attitude and approach to life may be as big an eye-opener to another person as all the specific techniques, and strategies I use.Thanks for your time and have a wonderful biggerpockets dayDitto :beer:

This is a 1 acre lot in a very affluent area and I bet the land value is worth around 80-90$ to begin with so it may been a good deal.

In that case the best bet is the seller.

Your best bet would be to find out how long it has been on the market.

I bet they would pay up then....

I bet your personal domain is starting to get more hits due to Biggerpockets.

My wife and I are looking in to buying our first home (we currently live with her father) and have heard that a forclosure would be our best bet for a good deal.

I'd be willing to bet that almost any county in CA has 100s of "deals" like this sitting around for the asking.

If you have ever read a standard note and trust deed used by mortgage lenders, I would bet a good attorney could find 20 things many home owners are breaching in their agreement on a regular basis… i.e. parking commercial vehicles, or operating a business from the premises...

I bet you wouldn't turn around and go back where you came from.
