While still in the beginning stages of getting this business operational I will perform this task myself.

Jon, flipping is what i want to do at this early stage.

This stuff may sound pretty elementary knowledge to most, so I apologize in advanced if there is a posting or link that can explains all this.Thanks

I am currently in the sales stage of my first long distance flip back in California.

I have already listened to some of the pod casts available on this site, have read several of the many available blog posts one after another, and purchased some of the mentioned books, and my interest has only increased.I am currently in the early stages of an accounting career that I am not happy with mainly due to how secluded I feel.

As I mentioned in my original post I'm still in a learning stage.

Also any advice for staging and for how long to lease the furniture vs purchasing furniture, etc. thank you!!

I wouldn't have a problem at this stage giving 60-40, since i would be learning and I put the knowledge inf front of the profit, since once i learn the whole aspect of it i can get the profit on the back end.

At every stage of the process, you lose some of your prospects.

The pre-foreclosure stage is the period between the time in which a Notice of Default (in non-judicial foreclosure) or lis pendens (in judicial foreclosure) has been issued to the homeowner and after the property is sold at a foreclosure auction.The owner may be working to cure the default, or he may be hoping for a pre-qualified cash buyer to help him avoid the impending foreclosure.Check public records to determine the outstanding loan balance and liens on the home and consult with local real estate agents.
