Pre foreclosure step by step.
Can anyone help me understand the process on buying ore foreclosures?
I understand what they are, but let’s say I talk to the seller and set up an appointment with them. We talk about the home and agree on a cash offer. What steps do I take next? Do I need to bring any specific documents?
Any info is greatly appreciated!

Not an easy answer in short space.
You are in essence trying to buy the property from the defaulting borrower and satisfy the bank.
You must stroke a deal with the borrower, whatever thst is to get the property from them, while they still own it. Thereafter, or as a consequence thereof, the lender must also somehow be satisfied.
What ever deal you strike must be memorialized in a writing with the owner...you are buying from them.
