In my market segment, western PA C-class in single-family and apartments, not wearing the "handcuffs" Chris talks about makes a huge difference.

I grew up most of my life in western Washington, and lived in Seattle proper for 15 years...

I have also been going through depression, feeling very lost on what to do next in life so we ended up in western KY where we could be closer to family and afford a house. 

But to share another perspective, I've seen anything 'of significant value' that does actually go to auction in WA - especially with a structure- of any type- go for (honestly) quite close to the mls/fair market price, and some- (when the full range of issues/challenges & unknowns about structure/condition were taken into account)- likely went for more via county auction..This is just my personal observation bookmarking, watching auctions, and doing significant title/etc research with the intent to bid/buy in some cases- across western WA (Specifically the last 3-5 years).

First, The Real Deal, "scum online magazine" pretending to be a real estate outlet, The Huffington Post, always been a garbage dump, numerous The South Florida Business Journals who never asked for my side, endless fake news outlets,  even some lenders tried to get in on the action like, Balanced Bridge Funding and Western Capital.

Also how important is it that you get it in an organized fashion vs. free?

Can I do better passively in a hands-off fashion with other investment vehicles such as syndications in this market?

Learn the ropes from the pros, and then maybe down the road you can branch off and do it on your own if you feel up to it.New Western is a pretty big local wholesaling group.
