Guys -We've got a whole page of tutorials on our start page at http://www.biggerpockets.com/starthereThat said, we don't currently offer the ability to create lists of followers/colleagues, however it is something we re-approach every once in a while.I have tens of thousands of connections and I can spin through their activity in a few minutes a day, provided I'm not going through the forum posts.

I plan to ask my agent for a list of cash transactions to find out where the investors are already buying - (to then find deals in those areas to wholesale myself.)My question to BP is whether this is a sound approach.

At the point of negotiation with this investor how would you approach it?

Ok so I spoke to the seller yesterday who wants to sell his house at $269,999 so I approached him the a lease purchase idea and he never heard of it and he said sounds good let's do it.

Is there a way to approach this?

Check out the CCIM designation and see if it looks interesting to you.

So I guess my question is should I approach the lender and let them know whats going on or if we can come to terms on the deal just do it.I would much rather Sell it outright, but I don't want to have to pay out of pocket to sell my home.

Be aware there are federal laws concerning approaching people in foreclosure, so don't go at it as if you are going to stop or solve the matter for them, just keep it as a sale inquiry. :)

The issue however is not one that should be taken lightly or swept under the rug, but should be strategically considered and approached.

I'm always interested in a unique approach to marketing.
