Or do you mean auctions of foreclosed houses where the lenders who end up with the houses auction them off?

I'm looking to purchase an off-market home in my neighborhood and ran into a hurdle that I might not be able to overcome...For context my elderly neighbor who I've been friends with for the last couple of years recently passed away.

At the end of the day, I do see a value in the general education side of many of these guru's, but education, if that is all they are providing without actually helping get your business off the ground, is only worth a flat fee, and it is not $540k, as you not this group is asking for.  

If you don't understand that going in to it, you will fail.Now that I'm off of my soap box.

Congrats on kicking things off at such a young age, you're going to excel.

I wanted to expand onto other investment strategies to build equity through the BRRRR strategy rather than just buying investment properties off the MLS.

@Joseph Cacciapaglia off topic.

Seek out distressed houses that are better off with minor cosmetic updates than major structural repairs.Form a Team: Assemble a group of experts to assist you in navigating the house flipping process, such as bankers, contractors, real estate brokers, and inspectors.

You know, I always think that is very misleading when they charge thousands of dollars to newcomers base off marketing that boasts getting into real estate with no money down.These deals cost money. 

Ours was bad, took 2 washes with TSP, yellow just dripping off ceilings and down walls, pooling on slab.
