. :)I was going to leave it at that, but the bank foreclosed on the legal description, the property it held as collateral.

It is possible this varies by the market, but in Milwaukee it is pretty clear that a large number of renters use craigslist to find an apartment.The keys to a good craigslist ad are using pictures along with a good,succinct description.

Really only works for big investors that can deal with leads across a larger geographic area (TV Market Area).

If there are considerable amounts of installment deals in a geographical area, with a lender, they could have 100 loans out or a 1,000 that have had titles changed.

In my geographical location (radius) of 1 mile I've came a cross close to 90 such places. most of which are empty few have for sale with occupancy.

Kendrick Bowman lol nice description, the science guy has been known to buy RE from time to time!

I'm thinking with the description you gave of the area & rental rate, which sounds great by the way, you will probably do well.

Sorry, but based on your writing and description of events, it's difficult to tell what's really going on here...I will offer this though -- if you're not comfortable representing yourself in a transaction, you should have your own agent.

I saw a foreclosure that looked interesting, but in the description it said that the property was eligible for 203K or Homepath renovation financing only (or obviously, cash).

We never do a mass mail to a geographic area - it defeats the purpose of "direct marketing", which is to market directly to your intended prospect with laser focus.
