Many of the larger firms that routinely handle foreclosures have dedicated portions of their website with the monthly listings and will post a starting bid a few days before the sale.

Expect no shows too.For showings if it is one prospect I run them through the house and then let them look on their own.

I would love to see an improvement in the Prospect Gateway.

Hey Jon,As prospects call inquires about my listings, a lot of the time it does not work out for them.

But a new prospect has come into light.

Nadia,If you buy homes in the lower range of CA prices ($150,000 - 250,000) and you offer your tenants a rent-to-own contract, then you would only be collecting rent which may not conflict with religious rules against interest.If you offer the prospective tenant an option to buy the house within a fixed time period (usually 2 - 7 years), then the tenant will have more incentive to take good care of the house.

You will have to sell to a cash buyer.This is not necessarily the case in your situation but it's good to have a wider prospective.

Search the forums because there are lots of existing threads that discuss electronic firms of rent payment.
