My wife is an agent and I have seen it in action.

Throughout the next year or so I wanted to purchase other properties, but like most people never took any action, including on a possibly amazing opportunity directly next door to me with a house which had signs on it for a year to a year and a half and was vacant.

Trust me...you will learn more at BP, by doing and taking action than spending time, money and efforts at taking courses and training...

First, you need to clarify….is this an REO that has been already been taken back by the bank and the bank is now selling it OR is it the auction in the foreclosure action itself…two completely different animals.

What is my course of action here?

As a standard procedure, we typically do a quiet title action once we take ownership to make sure anyone that might have an interest that was missed gets extinquished. 

Again depending on what you're doing their action is likely at most drafting contracts and or evictions.

Daily consistent action is the key.

That's code words you tell yourself to justify not moving forward with any meaningful action.   

This business is fueled by consistent action over a long period of time.
