Newbie RE Investor needs advice/guidance...

[Renae Bliss]

After going about my usual day, I have come across a couple FSBO properties, and a couple that have regular boards on the windows. After going online & researching the city site's info on them, I found a couple are listed to a bank in California; I'm assuming that means foreclosure or REO.

I'm wondering how I could go about possibly getting these under contract, getting private money to cover "in the meantime", etc. CAN ANYONE HELP??
