Pre-Auction Properties List
What advice would you give to someone who encountered a list of properties about to go to auction? Would you try and find a number to call them first, or would you go straight to door knocking?

@Mark Solomon - Glad to help. (I'm an extrovert who works from home so this is my outlet!)
I probably would start with the ones that are a month out because the process takes a while with most lending institutions. We've found that out because when pre-foreclosures call us they are normally too late to do anything. :(
Let me know how it goes!
