I'm posting my response as a public softening:Both our reactions are visceral.

I read Steve Cook's article on judicial foreclosures: foreclosure-update-happier-days-on-the-way-for-judicial-states/ and in that article he indicates how long the foreclosure process is in judicial states and the impact it has on investors by reducing the number of houses available.All of this brings me to my question, which has two parts:1) is there a viable way to obtain a list of homes in the pre-foreclosure/foreclosure process in judicial states where no public notice of impending foreclosure is required?

Check out some official guidance. http://www.irs.gov/publications/p527/ch01.html

Plus, I'd have to hire someone with wheels and muscles to transport it - that's $75-100.....Thanks for the suggestion though.

We have had requests for the IRA section to be on its on CD, but that would require some additional time and edditing expense so we have not done so.The info is available on the IRS website at www.irs.gov by clicking on publication 590.

(verified by public records)I guess they assume no one really checks, I don't know.I found no deal even remotely worth looking at so far, but I'll keep checking.

Afterall, this is a public forum open to help investors succeed in REI.David-If your lenders are unwilling to underwrite until until B is on title, then continue to look.
