Buying notes just to foreclosure on them
Would it be a smart strategy to buy NPN or defaulted mortgages just to foreclose on them for profit . Is this a good strategy.

Well, well, buying NPLs just to foreclose is a bit predatory unless the house is vacant. Even then, you have to deal with the borrower or his / her attorney which can be time-consuming and expensive . So don't think that just because you can foreclose on a home to take it as a rental or Fix and Flip you're getting a great deal. If you plan to do this with occupied properties as a business model you may want to check your moral compass!
