When there is an issue like this, some swampped asset managers will merely put that property in a "holding pattern" and come back to it when everything is all clear.I'd recommend that you have your agent speak with the listing agent, and have the listing agent call the asset manager to ask, "Is this property available for purchase right now?"

That type of housing is simply not available in my community.

They "sell" you a protected county (the counties I asked about were not available - at least they don't flood the area, good sign), and then give you first crack at all the new listings.You then blast email your group of investors (a combination of names provided by Rehablist and names you get on your own).

Portfolio loans are available through several of the same lenders who make conventional loans.

I hope everything works to your avail and that perticular property turns out to be a small gold mine.

My questions for you fine people:1) How do I find houses that have been foreclosed and are available at a large discount?

These Sweatshirts are now available on the BiggerPockets Store!

Anyhow, I did some more searching and found that here in kansas criminal records are available online.

However, take comfort in knowing that in the current market, there are going to be a lot of perfect places available for your choosing.To that end, All Cash said it best.

Are all 30 properties available right now?
