Getting a property through Foreclosure

[Mandi Martinez]

Hello all! I am very (VERY VERY) new to the fix and flip world. I am finally ready to pull the trigger and get my first deal! (Yikes!) Unfortunately I have put in offers, but I am continually beat by someone else who offers WAY above asking price. So I have turned my focus to the foreclosures in hopes that I won’t be in a bidding war as bad as I have been. I am looking for advice on the ethical way to approach someone in pre-foreclosure. I personally know how heartbreaking it is to be in that position and definitely do not want to call or write someone and sound like a jerk. Any good one line introductions or small speech’s that one has effectively used would be such a big help for me! I genuinely don’t want to pressure or swindle anyone, so if that’s the advice one has to give please refrain from commenting. Thank you!
