Check out each bank's website and research their mortgage options.If you see the terms FHA or Conventional, it's safe to say they abide to Fannie's and Freddie's terms.If you see "in-house" or "your loan will not be sold" etc., its a good chance you can consider them to be a portfolio lender.Your best bet is to call the bank and ask!

"Pre-foreclosure" really only means "prior to the auction sale", not "pre-filing".That said, if there's still a hard-copy newspaper in your target area, check the legal notices, or try their on-line news website if it does not require a subscription.

I don't know if they incorporate non--MLS rented properties in their statistics but  in our area you would get a falsely high rent if you only use MLS.

Google Adwords were great, and you need them to lead to your amazing website (which you have to have!).
