Thanks so much, I really appreciate all that you guys have put into this web page.

Is there anywhere on the web that is a great resource to find foreclosures or pre foreclosures before they hit auction?

That said, in many circumstances it might help. it's a gamble at best imoI also assume this is for a retail primary home, if it's for an investment house then I really hate this idea.

I've been a web applications developer for the last 12 years, and I'm really excited to mix my tech skills and entrepreneurial drive with some purposeful investing.I have some experience as that typical "accidental landord" and have held my first home as a rental for the last 10 years.

I gambled on the cheap solution and lost.

Check out www.11capitalfinance.com Product sheet on their web site plus 3 minute application and will have multiple loan offers in under 24hrs. 

If I give a free month as incentive I am guaranteed the lose of $3500, if I take the gamble and not collect the deposit, I’m hedging my bet that the tenant wont trash the place, and therefore less likely to lose $3500 bucks. 

I would do as much research on the home as possible in the county appraiser's web site to get an idea of how long ago it was sold for and if there was a mortgage recorded on it. 

I find it interesting that I've not found any reports on the web of investigations, complaints of fraud from actual NRIA.

I took the gamble and got it 101k and made it work for me.
