Zillow Foreclosures and Pre-Foreclosure Flipping

[John Spina jr]

Hello BP Members. Im a general contractor looking to get into my first flip. 

Ive been searching the MLS for something decent and came across properties that are in foreclosure and pre-foreclosure. How is this different from buying a regular property thats owner occupied in regards to a flip? Hopefully i worded my question the right way. Ill take any advice and ill elaborate if needed.
