Quote from @Shawn Questa: Hi all,I am curious what some of the Pros would do to Help a Seller in this situation while making a Deal happen.I found a 200+ day old MLS Listing where the Agent said the Seller is in Financial Ruin, hasn't Paid the Mortgage in a year, owes about 180k on an approx. 210k House and multiple Buyers have backed out.I don't know how someone could not Pay their Note in a year and not at least be in Pre-foreclosure. 

Happy to chat about the FW market, we have several investors in that area with various results using LTR/MTR rentals.

I pull pretty solid lists, I find a lot of my deals off market, just thought I could reach more if I have a few full time callers on the phones.While i'm at it, how are you guys finding good deals in today's world?

Pre '2010', maybe just maybe it will lean heavier on the fundamental mechanics than specific processes. 

Buy on market, nothing wrong with that.

Just wondering can you ever catch a great deal on the market  and if so what’s stopping you from taking advantage?

Also, how'd you narrow down your search to these two markets? 

About me, most of my assets are RE but in another market so I would be diversifying in that market.Potential for appreciation is very uncertain: prices have risen a lot locally lately and are as high as they have ever been, and it’s unlikely higher prices would be affordable by locals.
