My state doesn't have a foreclosure auction calendar that shows ALL of the upcoming foreclosure auctions, that also reflects postponements (important) and cancellations. Is there one for your state and what state are you in? Auction.com has many, but not all of them *and they aren't up to date with postponements and cancellations, either!

Hi Gio, I operate from Concord to Gorham in NH, so further north, but if you do get deals south of there, I know a ton of other investors to whom you can flip deals...... [email protected].

I am looking to purchase my first investment property and I want to do a house flip. I see a lot of advice for beginners on how to get an experienced partner. My question is how do I find these other investors? New Hampshire and Vermont are much smaller states than most major metropolitans. 

If I can not find a partner, I would love to have someone to consult on my project and ensure I am doing the right things.


 We have investor groups In Nashua, on the seacoast, Manchester and there's also one in the Lakes Region...... 🙂

I’m learning some states have laws against door knocking pre-foreclosures/distressed homeowners. I see a lot about “equity skimming” which is very specific and doesn’t mean every investor is looking to skim because they door knock.

Which states can you not door-knock? How do agents get around this? And, are there any exceptions around door knocking pre foreclosures on those states?


Hi John, I was just thinking to myself why anyone would want to door knock. I love direct sales but it seems to be door knocking for leads or sales is the proverbial  "needle in the haystack" style of marketing. I personally like to use attraction or content marketing; better use of my time, less rejection (which takes a psychological toll on you) and higher quality leads. I get fresh leads everyday by posting quality, non commercial contemporary content on a daily basis.  


If you're door knocking pre-foreclosures this is NOT needle in the haystack. As long as you scrub your list and confirm the homeowner still has an active foreclosure pending, you are knocking on the door of one of the most motivated sellers on the planet. I prefer that over direct mail, text message blasting or bandit signs. I'd rather talk to 5 motivated sellers per week than 100 unmotivated sellers.

I have a 30-day marketing plan for active foreclosures that includes a combination of personalized letters, text messaging and door knocking and I attempt to make contact with the homeowner up until 24 hours before their auction date. I call the last 7 days before the auction date "hell week" for a homeowner in foreclosure. They're out of time, stressed out and have few options. If you know what you're doing and can stop the foreclosure you'll close a lot of deals.


If the NOD paperwork doesn't have the attorney information, how do you know the property is still in foreclosure and when the auction is going to be held?
