Mostly likely you will have to pay a small fee for paying off the loan in a timely manner so that the lender makes their money.

Lets say it does cost you an arm and a leg then you have to cancel (probably cancelation fees apply) and reset your phone systems elsewhere (what if you can't do it in a timely manner) so that you can be up and running again!

I have owned and managed my own properties before but sold them due to lack of time, and not enough working capital to sustain while rehabbing.

Yet, I was wondering as to actual places in the United States that currently provide the most opportunities to help the people that "need to sell", and I in turn have a good possibility to make a fair wholesale profit by assigning the contract to another investor in a quick manner.

There's also lots of material here in various posts, though it may make more sense if you take the time to buy or borrow a book on "pre foreclosure investing" that presents everything in an organized manner.

The tools of the site allow people to do this in a manner that is much easier than traditional networking methods.For example: Say you're looking for a new contractor for a rehab you picked up.

I also will add… I do all this in a very nice, polite, and professional manner.

Over the years I have found that real estate investing communities are tight knit groups and word gets around quickly amongst investors and agents if someone operates in a less than above board manner (not that you would, I'm just saying).My general rule of thumb is that if someone gives me the lead then I go out of my way to make sure they get paid.

What you wear is not nearly as important as what you know...I actually listened to a speaker who said he dressed like a 'Hill Billy" because he didn’t want the seller to know he was successful...Personally I believe that if you have great systems in place it doesn’t matter what you wear or what you drive up in for that manner..I wear a suit, sometimes levis and a polo shirt and occasionally shorts and a polo shirt..If I am not in my suit I am always in a shirt that tells the world what I do..

Wow-Josh if everything worked as fast as you and the biggerpockets staff the world would be a better place (just think the cops would answer a 911 call in a timely manner LOL).
