I would note that most of your business on this side will likely be early stage buyers so dont waste too much time trying to land large listings... most of those will go to larger commercial firms. 

When you get to the rehab stage, feel free to reach out.

It is a great experience to be able to push through the 'demoralized' stage of one's first major renovations and see the house get re-appraised more than 20% higher that next year.

I've been trying to find information on the benefits / process of doing this, but so far have come up empty.Has anyone gone through this stage before (creating a public or private REIT by leveraging a current portfolio of investments)?

This is when a straight purchase is perfect as long as the seller is motivated enough to take a discounted offer.Of course, a delinquent seller will be more motivated than a seller who is current on their mortgage.For more details on these strategies read this article on BiggerPockets in the Innovative Strategies forum.The point of all of this is that having a good plan and setting it up so I would have no choice but to take action made me get out of my fears and actually get started.It's like stage fright, it seems intimidating at first, but once you start doing it on a regular basis, it starts to feel more natural and the fears fade away.

Can be at different stages of rehab on individual units and increase productivity.

Not to that stage yet.

I assume i will be able to qualify for300K profit, with 75K in transaction cost (6% RE commission + 2% tax + 2% on Misc spruce up/staging/mortgage etc)Cash flow is positive because of low mortgage, 15 year interest at 2.625, But rental yield is very low 4% based on current market price that is the nature of the yield in this area i can find 5 or 6% yield maximum if I find wholesale or auction property in my area.

Being new at this, I have a question regarding the process of buying a house from a seller who is in the Pre-Foreclosure stage.

The key in the beginning stage is not to kill your confidence and ability before the journey is even begin.
