With the Distressed Home Consultant law, I would flat out not approach pre-foreclosure bank "short sale" if it is not listed by a agent (that you have affiliation) on the MLS.

I am excited to be affiliating myself with fellow real estate investors!

Note: I am not affiliated with Mr.

@Eve Mahoney - My experience is the following:(1) Zillow and affiliates -- Most traction in A and B class neighborhoods.

I have no affiliation with them, but my FIL is picky about who he works with, so I would guess they do good work.

It is free across about six sites so you create it on Avail and it posts to all of their affiliates.

"Creditors are only eligible to make rural balloon-payment qualified mortgages if they originate at least 50 percent of their first-lien mortgages in counties that are rural or underserved, have less than $2 billion in assets, and (along with their affiliates) originate no more than 500 first-lien mortgages per year."

We get 100-150 at an event in Waltham, and it is 75% experienced people and 25% newbies and affiliated professionalsI'm told Boston Wealth Builders is a good group but I haven't been.Most of the rest are either promoting a selling speaker or a mentorship program.
