I just found foreclosurelistings .com and it shows some properties in preforclosure. I have had much more success in helping people avoid foreclosure in the first 90 days than after they have an auction date. Have you had success keeping a property out of auction after a sale date has been issued?

@Charlie Tunstall Thank you! Do you know how to get a list of preforclosures?

Welcome! Seems like you already have experience, a niche, and a client base... Don't be scared, dive in!! You win some and you learn some... either way you're moving toward your goals. Don't get paralyzed with what-ifs. No time like the present. There wil always be people throwing flags on why it's a bad time to buy... and they'll probably stay on the side lines. Don't be that guy. You got this!

Hey BP!

I am currently running a foreclosure acquisitions campaign in San Diego with some success. We are expanding and have a team in Charleston, SC. My data source does not seem to show foreclosures in South Carolina at all. Not because they are not there, but maybe because the data rules are different? Is foreclosure data public record in SC like in CA? If so, how/where do you source these leads? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Post: Foreclosing on a Tax Lien - Doing it the right way

Hey @Dylan Kerwin ,

As other indicated, this strategy is not new. Of course there is a way to be predatory about it, but there is always a way to provide genuine value to people in this situation. One way is a lease option. I would advise 2 years or more for the buyer to exercise the option, however. This gives them enough time to save and fix their credit. Otherwise, in the case of a 6 month lease option, it may be considered predatory as they would not be in much of a different financial situation. Tax liens are a great niche, though, and I think you can truly help people and make some money too! Check out Allan Susoeff of askalhow - he is a great resource on this topic. He has a 6 free 6 part course on how to do this strategy well. Good luck!

Great insight and content from everyone here! I am in the process of seeking guidance as to whether or not an LLC is necessary for my acquisitions venture as well. I have been referred to Prime Corporate Services for a consultation/informational meeting. They have helped other investors that I know get everything necessary set up and for a nominal fee. The first call is free. Might be good to look into!

Hey @Alain Pierre Crego , I sent you a DM. Let's get this deal done!
