I've recently found a property that will more than likely be going into auction next month that is worth over $100,000+ Lake Drive Virginia Beach, Virginia 23464 (Tax Map ID No. 146643179800) Default having been made in the terms of a certain Deed of Trust dated March 29, 2002, in the original principal amount of $38,000.00 and recorded in the Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia in Deed Book 4667, page 822, the undersigned Substitute Trustees, will sell at public auction on April 27, 2009, at 8:30 a.m., in front of the building housing the Virginia Beach Circuit Court, facing Nimmo Parkway (Building 10), Virginia Beach Judicial Center, 2425 Nimmo Parkway, Virginia Beach, VA, the property designated as Lot 15, Block A, on the plat entitled "Plat of Chatham Hall, Phase 6, Part B", recorded in the aforesaid Clerk's Office in Map Book 126 at page 46.

I have never been able to recreate their Lee County Florida foreclosure numbers with my own database that I download from public recordsthey tend to over state each month by 20 to 100 percent.

Depending on your local market, there are publications (like "Daily commercial record) you can subscribe to for like $30/month and get all the leads you need.I would target expired listing with equity (possible if the last recoding date is many years ago).Sending post cards is cheap, sources like overnightprints can print 5000 glossy cards for just over $200.Hope this helps.

Over the last several months I've been searching all public listings, talking with agents, and driving around looking for the right deal.

What you are referring to is a public adjuster.A public adjuster is a consultant you hire to represent you to the insurance company.

Tucson assessors info is online and i can publicly search mls and newspaper at home.

When someone buys a property with a loan, there are three pieces of paper that get recorded in the public records.

It will also be a waste of time compared to just focusing on what you need for investing rather than to work with the public as an agent.

In some cases the trust structure worked well while in other cases there was no will or trust so the process was drawn out and very public with assets being listed in the press (probate process requires this).Good luck.Jon is a star and I am glad he could help you.

They want the marketing publicity, but never wade into the discussions of average investors out here.
