They sent my all information to the underwriters (bank statements, w-2, pay stubs, etc) and now the underwriters are currently verifying my employment.

Welcome to BPI'm sure you will find a lot of information and networking here!

There's so much information to process and I'm having a hard time deciphering what's what... but I do know that I would want to function as a bird dog, at this point.Can you guys offer any assistance?

I just found the contact information of a property that I am interested in.

Just be sure that the deal is solid, you perform your D.D. and you're working with people that know the market and will give you "correct" and "accurate" information.  

I know that this is a broad question but any advice/information is very much appreciated

Make sure to check out the Bigger Pockets Blog: https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/It is full of great information.

Thanks for the information Roy, I really appreciate it.

As far as pre-foreclosure, its all public information.

Im excited, however, to be learning actually useful information about RE so it's not horrible.I joined BiggerPockets to follow along on discussions that I can relate to and learn from since I have no experience and don't really know anyone in this town.
