Hi @Joe Farrance, good questions! Please clarify if you are working on Foreclosures or Pre-foreclosures. 

(1) You may have an issue wholesaling a property that is listed, when a buyer can go around you ot the agent. But you can ask about the agreement and see if they will sign, along it may not hold weight with agency law. You will have a better chance of creating an agreement with your buyer. Are you a real estate agent yourself?

(2) If it's a preforeclosure, you could still reach the owner. But you will have challenges if the property is listed with an agent. If it has been foreclosed on, now it's owned by the bank. 

(3) You can reach out to the agent to view the property. They will need to show it to you, if you are not licensed. 

Hope that helps!

John

Hey @Keerah Linnen welcome to BP! Keep absorbing information here and check out a few local Real Estate Meetups in your area. I actually obtained a real estate license to learn more about real estate in general and for access to the MLS.

You're in the right place, keep asking questions.

Hey @Jordan Santiago Great to see you here. Have you tried I Cold Calling? Systems like Redex are good for preforeclosures and FSBO's.

Which areas of NY have you focused on in the past?

Going to the meetup tonight in RVC?

Hey @Antonios Diakonikolas, welcome to BP, you're in the right place. Now is the time to be a sponge and soak up all the good content here on this site. 

Good luck!
