My name is Jamaal and I am in the Baltimore region.

I currently an employee for a housing authority in the Maryland region.

Washington has no state tax so it seems that it would be another advantage to investing in state, though sales tax is high here for any costs involved in rehabbing, etc.Nicholas Quinn, I expect this whole region is going to rebound/appreciate well.

In my area, most bank owned lots are with smaller local or regional banks.

Wish there was more opportunity for cash flow in my region.

Richard G. Rosetti real-estate was super helpful in finding the right office space for my growing company. We are so happy in our new location, Thanks Rosetti Real Estate!

if you r looking specifically for tax lien properties there is no one website that lists properties that have liens against them. this is actually how i invest. you need to contact the tax collector for the town you want to research liens in. you need to get the most recent tax sale list or upcoming list if its i the future. if the sale has passed you need to have them give you the results of the sale. which properties did have liens placed against them. if its a future sale, i would plan on attending it. you can buy some liens yourself if you would like. however, at the very least go there to record which liens were placed. once i have my list, i check with tax collector to see if there are older liens on a property. e. g. if you have the tax sale list for 2012 i'll ask if there are any liens prior to 2012. you do this so that properties that are coming close to the foreclosure date, you can heavily market to. these owners will be more likely motivated b/c they are close to losing their property to foreclosure. back to websites, most tax collector offices will either mail/email you sale list. also a lot of times, they are posted on regional paper (ac press, ap press, etc). occassionally, you will get lucky and they'll post the tax sale list right on the townships website. hope this helps. sorry for length.as far as foreclosed properties, you can just google foreclosure lists, and im sure you will find some. most of the ones i have seen require a monthly fee. you could also use a realtor, zillow, trulia, or other listing sites usually post foreclosures.

The bank or asset company looks at all the reports and then instructs the listing broker to go off of that price to list the property for sale.During pre-list the bank or asset company will not talk to you and you have to wait for the property to be listed unless this is a small local or regional bank where their process and procedures are more flexible.Wells Fargo is a massive bank so you will have to wait for it to be listed.

Start calling the local and regional banks.

Assuming you can get an appraisal at the price you're purchasing (not ARV - if you want to borrow against ARV, you will have to find a HML or a broker who lends from private investors), some banks don't do small loans or charge some extra points for loans less than $50K etc.If you have fewer than 4 mortgages, one bank to try is Regions Bank.
