New to Pre-Foreclosures

[Ryan McManaman]

Hey everybody, Thanks for viewing, just a quick question for all of you. I'm starting out in investing and I have determined where I want to start going is towards foreclosures, pre-foreclosures and bank owned properties. I'm just interested in a few tips or tricks that you guys know of to help me get off on the right foot. I've looked on bank websites to view listings. My plan is to get these homes under contract and wholesale them. I don't have any problem contacting the banks, I just would like to know how to 'finesse' the banks so I don't look like a total newbie. Also, I do go onto the county clerk website to find potential leads but in my county they don't have the Notice of Default section when looking so I get a bunch of unwanted, unfiltered results so if anyone has a suggestion there I'm more than willing to try it out. Any help on narrowing down the process or any procedure on not looking like a total dummy is very much appreciated.
