No sale - great - find a decision make at the bank, talk to the trustee, find the owner (because if it is a foreclosure - the bank does not own it yet - they have to go through a ratification period, this could take months - time for you to negotiate with the seller, object to the foreclosure on technical mistakes and to negotiate with the lender for an assignment of the mortgage.)This is a wonderful business, have fun, be kind to others - don't be greedy - there is lots of profits to be had for the prepared investor.

I know the common objections of brokers and I can help you prepare for speaking with them, so they send you deals.

Your plan should also include how you will evaluate deals and determine an exit strategy, so you don't get caught in this "bright shiny object" space you are in now. 

Neetu,If you are entering into purchase contracts for real estate in Ohio with the only objective to make a fee by finding "end buyers" or investors you are probably violating Ohio Real Estate Licensing Laws.

I have not started talking to brokers yet but I would definitely be very open to them about my objectives and plans.

They might have feedback on your rehab objectives and tips.
