They fell behind and the 1st lien LENDER filed for NOD and NTS - Notice of Trustee sale and it went to the TRUSTEE SALE X-XX-2023 where the property was SOLD to a Third Party BIDDER for $375,000I assume under this SCENARIO - the 3rd PARTY bidder who purchased the property at the Trustee Sale Auction 8-23-2023 was buying the property involving the action being BROUGHT to the TRUSTEE SALE AUCTION  by the 1st lien DOT lender and that the SUBORDINATE $101,500 2nd lien Held by HUD may have received any (some) OVER BID funds but utilmately was WIPED OUT at the Trustee sale Auction...Thus their 2nd lien Goes away...Do not believe that the SUBORDINATE DOT lien to HUD survives the Trustee Sale unless they BID to protect their juinor lien interest.

It's in a part of town that is being revamped from former industrial to nice stores, shops, restaurants, and businesses and I believe there is even some money offered to help revamp that part of town if you purchase something and help improve the area.  

For materials, we normally send the contractors to Home Depot and have them purchase what they need using our account.

That ensures you don't spend it on other things and know exactly how much you have to spend on the next purchase.

Many of the properties I purchased are due to the large network.

This should eliminate the homeowner (1) selling a property while remaining liable for the note (subject to), (2) tying  up his property with a “buyer” who has no intent to close unless he finds someone to pay a higher price (wholesaler), (3) paying above market rental for an option to buy that can never be exercised (4) purchasing a property from a fix n flipper who did shoddy rehab, (5) purchasing a property with nebulous legal title, (6) contracting for home improvement with a fly by night contractor who then puts a mechanics lien on the property and (7) “listing” with a wholesaler disguised as a Realtor who doesn’t put the home on MLS.
