Either check craigslist or the newspaper, or call local mobile home parks and see what they have for sale as if you are a buyer.

Is $2,550 a reasonable cost to publish FC notices in a small community newspaper?

I bought an 80k duplex for 30k that pulls in $1,350 a month from this. 4) Look in the newspaper classifieds.

You also want to be honest and up front with the people you are working with as well, that will lower your litigation risk.Also you CAN make money here in Florida without any money, (Yes, I'm saying this as an agent) Go around your city and look for vacant properties, (Many newspapers, phone books, flyers at the front door..etc) and see if you can find the owners of the property.

Use newspapers or c-list as it is free and allow people to call you to inquire about the home.

That depends on if your state you have a notice of default or a lis pendens notice that is required of the lender by state statutes for foreclosure proceedings.In my state of Georgia we don't have either.Simply a letter is mailed to the borrower from the lender and then the foreclosing attorney advertises 4 weeks in the local newspaper and it's sold the first Tuesday of every month.If your state requires notices to be filed then the courthouse is where you will get information first.There are companies that sell lists but by the time they come out days or weeks have already passed and everyone else is lazy and gets the same list.So the name of the game is to get to them before everyone else.To do that you have to be willing to put in the work.Other ways to find people in distress is by classified ads,internet presence,etc.If they are in distress and it's not in the public records you will have to get them to raise their hand for help.I have typically found those in the early stages of default to not be as motivated as 90 days or more behind.

With an open house, you advertise in the newspaper and online and simply wait for the masses to show up and meet them inside with pens and applications ready if they're interested.

I have advertised in a few college magazine or news paper in the past.
