However my experience many people chase higher return rates and then end up with an actual return below the “lower” rates of a performing note anyway. 

Any other players to involve to protect my interests?

My assumption is that all players know the language of real estate and are transactionally fluent.  

I am assuming this will give me an idea if there is anything worth chasing prior to tax forfeiture auction. 

If that's his plan, I think he's chasing fool's gold.  

Here´s the  breakdown of my cards: AMEX - $19,135 (I have an installment plan, at 7.99% APR, they won't close my account when I pay off the card) (credit line 22K)VISA WellsFargo - $6,865 at 21.99% APR (credit line $7,350)DISCOVER - $3.369 at 11.99% APR (credit line 7k)CHASE Freedom - $5,003 at 22.99% APR (credit line $5,500)I have no more savings.

I would start by listening to episode 441 - House Hacking as an NFL Player (https://www.biggerpockets.com/...). 

@Carissa Holmes ok before you target 20% growth realize the first priority is not to lose the investment, which you stand a good chance of doing if you are chasing high returns: high reward=higher risk. 250k investable is a lot of money but it’s not a LOT of money.
