Interesting. Where are you looking for auctions at? hubzu? auction.com? Not seeing great deals on either... What areas are you looking at? Source: about 1 year ago

All of the other properties they own were bought at significant discounts. This could mean anything from buying them during market crashes (2008-2009), buying non-livable properties and fixing them up, finding properties zoned for multi-family with a single unit and knocking the unit down and building multi-family, adding ADUs where properties were already zoned and garages were already built, h over 2.5 - it's...

So I did a little bit of digging on auction.com's website, and it does seem like they have a "first look" program for basically everyone except investors. This house isn't coming up as a first look property though. I think I'm going to bid and hopefully not run into any issues. I guess the worst thing that can happen is I lose the EMD.

However, we do not see any temporary offers on zillow.com, apartments.com, or... Source: 6 months ago

I have been advertising with Zillow as a premier agent for 5 months now, and I can tell you that it is 100% a scam. I needed a new place to allocate some advertising dollars and decided to give Zillow a try. The sales rep, Lindsay Caldwell, told me the number of leads per zip I would receive (43) for the spend I was willing to do ($3,000 a month). Zillow makes you sign a 6 month contract, and I was a bit hesitant... Source: 9 months ago
