Have the broker's price of having you as a client be the teaching you the process and standing by you through any collection or foreclosure issues.

Basically I would just like to start a discussion here regarding people's experience in this area, share creative ideas in terms of financing or about properties in foreclosure, REOs and short sales. 

I'm going to look at/make an offer on a pre-foreclosure tomorrow.

Ideally this would be in Boston, but im open to the surrounding areas as well.Basically I would just like to start a discussion here regarding people's experience in this area, share creative ideas in terms of financing or about properties in foreclosure, REOs and short sales. 

While monitoring foreclosures in my area here in Pennsylvania, there was one property I kept an eye on.  

That's as opposed to doing a full blown foreclosure. 

It is a 4 bedroom currently in foreclosure.

He is sick and cannot maintain the property To avoid due on sale and foreclosure against him,  he could just lease it to me for piti (pay straight to the mortgage company) and I would sublease it for cashflow.

With the deed method you also have a shot at overages in the case of tax delinquent properties.My deals are coming from absentee owners, tax foreclosures, HOA foreclosures and probate.  

I purchased 40k (22%) under the foreclosure amount.I no longer hate or are scared of Auction.com listings.Hope that helps?
