I have been doing research and reading every chance I get.

On a side note, I have friends that drive for uber/lyft - heard it's a great networking opportunity as well, have you met any real estate investors from it by chance?

Chances are they are not leaving a voice mail so they can dog you out when you pick up! 

However, depending on how the deal is structured, its possible the buyer could successfully claim an equitable interest in the property. 

Also, I am not considering that a lower price point house has higher chances to have more repairs and expenses from its class type of tenants. 

They may be hurt when they see me partner with others, but I'd rather them be a little hurt over that than the small chance of hurting a family relationship.  

( I think I already know the answer to that but I'm still asking)When looking for the "right" mailing list, what target property owns do I want to focus on to get a greater chance for deals?

It is my chance to look over the application with the tenant, ask clarifying follow-up questions, check & copy photo ID.

"pre-foreclosure" is a sexy term - but it really doesn't mean anything without qualifying an individual situation.If you want to have a better chance of success getting a property which is inevitably going to be foreclosed upon, it's a safe bet to start by looking at market comps and then adjust your number based on the condition of the property and the situation of the current owner.  

As @Brandon Turner said, the podcast is great, I listen to them every chance I get.
