Seeking Foreclosure Investors in Puget Sound area

[Deanna Coutts]

Good Afternoon BiggerPockets!

I have been working with a proven mentor in San Diego, CA door knocking Homeowners in Pre-Foreclosure and Auction and will be moving to Oak Harbor, WA a month from today due to military obligations. I want to continue focusing on this niche though the laws regarding foreclosure process vary between the 2 states. Is there somebody on BiggerPockets that knows someone in Seattle or elsewhere in Kings County (North Seattle area preferably), Snohomish (Everett, Marysville, Lynnwood, Monroe), Skagit (Mt. Vernon, Anacortes, Burlington), and anywhere near Island County (Oak Harbor, Whidbey Island) who specializes in targeting those in the Pre-Foreclosure and Auction Stages and has had success? I would be privileged to speak and learn from someone who has wholesaled, fix and flipped, or buy and hold these properties. It could be from Cash for keys, Short Sale, Subject-To, or any other creative acquisition. 

I am a grinder, and have much to prove. I sound like every Newb here on BiggerPockets but I'm dead serious about taking what I've been learning to the next level. I want to continue work immediately once I get to Washington State. Any referral is appreciated. 

Thank you for taking the time to read my keyword-saturated post. I hope everyone has a great day!

Regards,

Deanna

@Deanna Coutts Happy to help in any way I can here. Just be aware, as I think you are, that laws regarding distressed properties in Washington and California seem to be quite different.

Regardless of the intentions, good or bad, Washington lawmakers don't like people wholesaling homes occupied by the owner. When you arrive, I recommend having a look at REIA. This is a solid networking group with a lot of good people. I am certain there may be a few within the group trying to do the same as you and willing to help out in their pursuit.
