If you want to be a "true" creative investor learn the above techniques.

I would do wholesaling, lease options and other techniques at the same time, so you always have cash coming in.

This forum is for discussion of real estate marketing techniques.]

Many of these properties are something I would be interested in investing in - with the proper discount.Is there some process or technique for engaging a bank in such a situation to discuss a multi-property purchase?

If its just someone who is going to the courthouse, getting this info, and making deals with the homeowner, then it sounds like legitimate wholesaling.Using options is a technique that's been discussed a couple of times lately to avoid assignments (which the bank won't allow) or double closes (which the title companies don't like.)

Are there other options or techniques to consider or try?
