Approaching homeowner in sensitive preforeclosure situation

[Omar Laidlow]

Hello BP,

I am in uncharted waters as a newbie active investor. I own property, but have never jumped into the many different arenas of off market investing. I was recently presented with intel about a particular home in Northern New Jersey, in which the current homeowner is in default. The homeowner, inherited the property valued at $375k that only had $80k left on the mortgage. The homeowner had tried to workout an arrangement with the bank but fell behind on that agreement. Learning of the information, I though how can approach this situation in hopes of creating a possible win/win situation for myself as well as a homeowner that could potential lose the home all together. Suggestions are appreciated.
