IMO, you can't go wrong by going out and meeting with people who have to sell their houses.
By taking the time to go out into these neighborhoods, you leave the competition behind.
Many are fearful of knocking on a stranger's door and the last thing they want to do is start talking about the foreclosure.
Most of the other investors in your market, are mailing out letters, hiding behind the phone and waiting until the Sheriff sale to buy.
Get out in front and beat 'em to the punch with door knocking!
