New investor here have question about Subject to option.

[Ted Faulkenburg]

Hi everyone,

I am new to the real estate investing, I have been trying to hit this hard. I have been searching MLS just to see what is out there and found a couple properties with descriptions similar to this one below...

"One story home in gated community in the process of being remodeled with new carpets, new paint. Large living room, great master bedroom and good size secondary bedrooms. Big back yard. Owner motivated property in foreclosure so bring all offers. "

I am mostly interested in the last sentence in this description. However being that this house has a listing agent and is on MLS how would one go about offering the seller a Subject to option to save them from going into foreclosure. Is there a way to do this with realtors involved or is my only option to go around the realtors and send a letter to the property owner off the County assessor website and hope for the best?

Thank you,
