This is what he sent me, and I quote, "Over the course of flipping hundreds of real estate deals, I found that the very best opportunity to make money in real estate was through pre-foreclosure leads.Because this single lead type changed my business, and my life, I’ve created a special opportunity for you to get these leads completely free.Free Leads HereThis is a very limited time offer, so please don’t wait too long to take me up on it.You’ll be getting access to our complete database of millions of properties currently in pre-foreclosure, which is updated daily when new records are released.

Entire streets with nothing but foreclosures on them.

I choose this route because I feel there would be less competition rather than a pre foreclosure list

Now if you are strictly doing flips then it may be more effective to only knock on doors that are one of the following:Sheriff sale propertiesPre foreclosure 90 day late 2+ year late taxes Code violations Owner occupied evictions (usually multifamily) Expired listings FSBO This is more time consuming and requires route planning but for flips this is the list of people who have a higher chance of having distress & would give up equity to solve that  problem & close quickly. 

He really rubbed me the wrong way telling me he is doing me a "favor" and that I will not incur foreclosure expenses.

The property is in pre-foreclosure.

Hi Experts,First of all, Thanks in advance for reading my question and giving your valuable suggestion/guidance.I bought a Condo Sheriff' foreclosure auction and planning to rent it to make some cash flow out of it.

I can probably cut windows on the back of the bedrooms and get some light in via windows from the porch/staircase...but not an ideal solution.This being a foreclosure the bank is not going to provide survey, so I am ordering survey.

I have never been through a foreclosure process, but have researched the process and somewhat familiar with what needs to be done.Should I go through the foreclosure process or should I ask him to transfer the deed back to me?  

It opened up a nice source of unused income that we have been able to use to get a house to flip at foreclosure auction, some acreage to set up some rental houses on, and we are currently looking at finding some rental homes to move out to the acreage.
