Foreclosure Acquisitions

[Mike Kinder]

I've been haunting local foreclosure law firms and finding auction dates with these foreclosures, but in stead of waiting for the auction, I thought I might approach the home owner in distress. 

Has anyone here found any success in sending letters or simply knocking on the doors of these distressed owners?

I feel like these distressed owners would be interested in saving their credit, getting some cash and moving on for getting out from under their "lenders". 

Curious minds...  Thanks.

Mike
