Also check foreclosure complaint to see who was named as those would be other liensAlways check taxes, water and sewer liens

I am thinking about sending letters to home owners who are in a pre-foreclosure situation in the state  of Pa. 

I’ve done it after buying a property at the foreclosure auction, in FL.

Hey I’m new in this business and I found a single family off market for $257,000 and the ARV is $400,000 but the house is pre-foreclosure is that fine to put it on contract or not recommended ?

When 2012 gets here and we have 15% unemployment, 10%+ inflation, a National Debt in excess of $15T and more foreclosures than we want to see, I would love to hear you argue about how intellectual Obama is.

Almost 30% of first time home buyers who qualified for the first tax credit in 2008 are currently either behind in their payments or in foreclosure.

Hey Robert - one more thought Having cash and quick closing is good- Find Motivated seller --through realtots --with listing over 90 days, owner lost job or moving out of town - divorce etc--make sure they have 30% or more equity based on current FMV -then pay all cash and buy --do minor cosmetic repairs and sell again -or rent it out.Check BP otehr forums on how to find Pre Foreclosures and Motivated Sellers.Quick sale -does not matter to Lenders -only for motibvated sellers and cash is king for REOs for flipping.If you have good enough equity --you can sell to other investors with some profit -- as said above.champak shah

I just bought a foreclosure in South Florida I don't know if its connected to but I just filed for Homestead on the place and got this Real Estate Sales Verification Survey from County Property appraisers office asking me questions like.

Here are some calls to action I use:"Call now for more information""Call today and I'll explain more""Contact me today and avoid foreclosure""Immediate response required""Hurry before the lender forecloses""Don't wait.

No active leaks noted yet but they may be a concern. there is an old inground pool that is a liablity but I would plan to rent a jackhammer, push the smashed concrete in, and fill the rest with dirt and throw some seed over the top.Broker did not have access to environmentals or appraisals because the bank bought the property back before foreclosure. broker seems to imply that the concerns are deffered maintenance and estimating capital requirements for roof and windows. broker also implies that seller will not accept less than $800k.cash flow is currently negative due to being poorly managed IMO. the budget includes items like $1,800 for telephone when a phone cost 25-30 per month. the bigger kicker is there is an option to either rent with no utilities included (at rental rates quoted above) or to pay an extra $100 for water and electric included (units have central HVAC included in electric).about 40 units have opted into this program giving a budgeted utility rebill income of around $4,000, the problem is that budgeted electric is over $4,000 and water is just over $4,000, and not only that but in September the electric bill was more than $8,000.
