Hi Chris, if I understand the transaction it sounds like you will receive a 1099-S for the full amount.

Look up local investors on social media and follow them and comment and like their posts so they get used to seeing your name.

Focus on attracting midterm renters through platforms like Furnished Finder, especially during slower periods.

For walls in common areas like halls and stairs, there are rigid products that can absorb some sound.

.: I already knew something like this was going to eventually happen.

I feel like my "circle of people" really needs an expansion and improvement and I want someone with more experience in the field I want to be in to really help me gain myself to success!

It is not uncommon for auctions like this one to get rescheduled multiple times before ever actually making it to the courthouse steps. 

Good to know as I have a property coming on the market and we had one off market offer already all cash but at 10% list price discount (which we most likely will reject).Curious if you think the california fires will assist the market since many of those people need places to live for years and I am guessing some will flee california?

But otherwise the best way to get in front of people is through either word-of-mouth like you're doing or paid advertising on Google, Meta, Pinterest etc., I think there's a lot to building a "community" like feel for your tenants that may include events, giveaways, etc., to get them to engage with you and elevate their living experience.  

Some brokers (like this one) work with 220+ lenders.
