sounds amazing. but id never have the balls to drop 850 on a unit. keep pushing!

I can give you a tutorial on how to set them up when you fly that plane up here to grab some fried Reuben balls.

As and investor I use "Find Comps Now" very good source for ball park figures otherwise you can partner with a investor friendly realtor that has access to the MLS that can run comps for you.

All great comments but I would like to add a different approach that gets missed over and over again (even I did this years ago) Before shooting low-ball offers through MLS listings, build rapport with the listing agent, because at the end of the day, it is the listing agent that can "sell" your offer.

This has thrown a curve ball my way though, because I'm not quite sure what we can do. 

If so, call the attorney and start the ball rolling.

So I found a fixer upper foreclosure on the mls listed at 190k. This is my first time dealing with a foreclosure so I'm learning the ropes still. Also I'm located in Canada. I put in a conditional offer of 170k, offer...

I'm eye balling my next property!

Even if the county has dropped the ball and failed to foreclose on the properties that have gone past this time frame, I wouldn't count on them to not do their job right.

The student apartment complex behind the property rents for $1,000/month.The seller is flexible on the terms of the sale as long as I "don't try to low-ball him."
