Abandoned Properties

Anyone have any luck with Abandoned properties?

Typically it is a very easy process finding the onwers of the properties but will they sell and will they sell for what you have in mind? I would like to hear some feed back on this subject as I am considering jusmping into this untapped market.

All you hear about is REO, Short Sales, & pre-foreclosures but what about these properties that are left to rot, can you make a profit for both you and the neighborhood?

Thanks Ladies & Gentlemen!
