Never heard that one, I don't know why predatory keeps popping in my mind.Might search for "HUD credit counselor" as that should take you threads concerning dealing with sellers in foreclosure as there are applicable federal laws pertaining to dealing in pre-foreclosures you need to be aware of.Pre-foreclosures are not something for newbies to get creative with, IMO and you can end up having much more trouble than the deal could ever be worth.
