If you want to buy a land contract property that is in default, then you would have to payoff the land contract through a purchase agreement.If you are looking for a list of pre-foreclosure properties which have bank mortgages, your best bet is to go down to the county offices and get a list of properties that have a recorded NOD (Notice of Default).

Scott, Your best bet for getting started is to partner up with an experienced rehabber and fund a deal with them for 50% of their profit.

If you need funds for rehab, finding a hard money lender in your area or contacting several commercial lenders will be your best bet.  

@Lisa Holloway  I think it really depends on what you want out of RE.If your just going to be a buy and hold you can basically do that one your own there is no mystery to buying rentals.. a really good RE broker will be all you need to help you, along with a decent lender.I think the latest craze is flipping ... either wholesaling or fix and flipping .. this is what is on TV and this is what get glamorized...And of course its probably just a tad glossed over that anyone can do this.. when in fact not everyone can.. just like not everyone can be a doctor or attorney or own a McDonalds etc etc.But are there rag to rich's stories from those that maxed out credit cards and made it .. you bet there are .. are there those that maxed out the credit card went home worked on it a few hours got some rejection and quit  you bet there is.I have seen it in the RE brokerage business.. the last 40 years.. this is a very tough business and it takes hard work determination and if your going to be in the flipping business usually some capital.And then many people have connections they can get private money they have deep pocketed family that will help them.. etc etc.And if I look at my 41 years in the industry I have paid far more than 40k for education licensing continuing ed.. travel to conferences etc. you have to invest in yourself and in your business.. there is only so many that can do this by reading books and on line and spend zero outside dollars to be successfulJust look at all the wanna bee wholesalers who run out there and spend thousands on direct mail when they have never taken one class in how to sell .. and really don't know how to close or what to do with the leads.. a good program up front would probably help many of those that flame out.. thinking it does not work.At the end of the day I personally believe you MUST spend some money on your education and further your business's .Look at top producing RE agents.. they have radio spots Bill boards with their pretty picture up there. all sorts of other paid advertising...

You bet!

I would call her up and ask her what she sees in Coatesville, and what her plans are at this point -- if you're willing to buy properties that "just" cashflow in areas of Coatesville that she plans to develop, I'm willing to bet that you'd see a lot of appreciation in the next few years.

Your best bet would be to mail to the same list every 3-5 weeks for 5-7 months.

I bet they would love to sell them to you.

As time moves forward, I HOPE (I think it is a good bet) appreciation will continue to rise on all of my properties and I will enjoy positive cash flow from my re-positioned units.
