Obviously, the rules will differ from state to state.The most successful buyers have trusted bidders with cashier’s checks in multiple denominations (for cash sales) and the actual buyers have field runners and people to monitor multiple prospective properties at a given time and check sales status for postponements due to BK, etc.This is the case in larger metro markets where many properties could go to sale but few do so.There are often better ways to acquire properties then auctions.

Hello,I want to get started in wholesaling in the US from Canada, but I'm a bit lost on where to start.Do I need an LLC or C-CORP?

Most serious and qualified tenants are searching on the major 3rd party platforms you mentioned + realtor.com, redfin, and a few others.Apartments.com & homes.com are owned by the same company and may offer some additional marketing options.Another strategy to consider here is social media - video marketing.

@Liam AlvarezI’ll be a contrarian here.After 46 years in the industry, both as a SFR broker & investor and now as a MF operator with over 1000 units as a general partner…..The best market to invest in is the market YOU KNOW BEST.

Jerrell,That would be a pretty simple process you could use a renovation loan or do a cash out refinance. 

Make a deal with one of the other 4 tenants.

Do you have a link by any chance?

I've heard of these all in house investment options and listened in on a few webinars.
