They are just vacant homes fully paid off that have been abandoned for some reason.

All the abandoned brick buildings can be restored to beautiful loft spaces.

Here, if the tenant has not returned the keys, they are still in possession - even if they have truly abandoned the property - and the landlord must go through the motions of the eviction process to regain possession.

To abandon the process is 'special consideration' and YOU become subject to discrimination charges.Mine wants to 'talk' and I  don't take his calls as until I have a complete application, I have no relationship whatsoever.Hold to the process, apply the same criteria to everyone, and document your reason for denial (all objective, not subjective feelings or opinions on personal appearance, et al).

-current owners (4 in total) all abandoned the property few months ago, bank was going into suit with them but trying to recoup from auction first.

Now the trouble is that easily 90% or more of the vacant/abandoneds that I find in my farms are upside down and/or in foreclosure and/or an REO.

.)- pre forclosure- probate - distressed looking property (driving for dollars)- vacant/abandoned property I have 1,000's of leads from the above sources that I can mail.

If you voicemail says "Hi, this is Wes, leave a message.." callers will abandon like they're jumping off the Titanic.

Yes I rode past your house on Sunset St (sometimes I don't remember the exact number) and wondered if you might be interested in selling".Then as others suggested, I ask them to tell me about the situation with the house and allow them release a lot of frustration and emotions about the property.Almost every house I target has lots of equity, hasn't been marketed and is likely vacant and/or abandoned.

Thank you Joshua, Yes that link is helpfulI am in Rich Dad's RE Coaching, and this week we have to commit to researching and running a print ad, which is something that I've shied in the past because I was too cheap to want to spend the money for solid marketing...Well after becoming quite proficient in prospecting (cold calling), I see the little money they are asking for as a solid way to leverage my time more effectively even if it only pays for itself.I've been reading now where alot of investors have abandoned print media for marketing, which in my eyes makes it a golden opportunity to attempt to build a part of my marketing around it...
