Hey guys.Being moderately experienced investor, I have done HUD's, local auctions, selelr financing, rentals, flips, etc...I have toying around with the idea of using a virtual assistant to submit my HUD offers (in and amongst other things).I am curious:1)  Has anyone been using virtual assistants to submit HUD and has it worked well? 

Or perhaps short sales or auctions, though the financing is giving me pause.  

Even forclosure auctions don't seem dramatically better.

Here's a quick recap of my last 6 months with this deal:03/23/16: Went to foreclosure auction to figure out how it works.  

Back-taxes of ~$2650 (headed toward tax deed auction, but perhaps not for another month or so because there is no set date yet)Total Liens add up to ~$6,000, without any interest the city may have added since they have been unpaid for a few years - I'm still waiting to hear back on that, but I don't think they were interest bearing liens. 

If you have a preapproved mortgagecan you use that as a cash only on an auction?

Also, attend any local real estate auctions and pass out flyers of the house.  

And the appraiser even commented "Bank owned and auction sales don't represent current trends.  

If you have no inspection period as per the auction terms, and you can't estimate your own work, then you'll have to pay a contractor for an estimate...just the cost of doing business.  

Bought splendid home at sheriff's auction after foreclosure; now (in Oregon, at least) the previous owner has 180 days to redeem the property, paying me (via the Sheriff, I guess) the auction price plus change.
