I work as a sales engineer but have been spending the last year researching the real estate game and the B.P. community seems to be very nice and helpful so I'm glad to be here!

You don't really talk about real estate or what's going on in the community since you're playing a game, but eventually you'll strike a conversation with someone who knows a lot about the area as well.

I've learned from some very successful investors and after trying different methods I've had great success getting huge discounts telling motivated sellers that I have the money already at title and can close as fast as title can move.  

How you title this deal might have everything to do with your over all success in refinancing in a timely matter.

if there was no equity and no upside you would not be getting anyone calling or contacting you.if someone is willing to clear the foreclosure and do a JV on the upside that would be a good out come just have attorney put together a nice JV agreement and record it post sale. if there truly was no equity NO one would be giving you the time of day.. the only people that generally chase no equity forclosures are the no money take title too and want to own rentals folks..

How is title held on these properties?

@Freddie Williams considering the buildings are Triplexes you should be able to house hack one of the buildings. if they are on separate titles then each could possible be fund on conventional loan. been vacant on both could be an issue. 

I understand all your fears and it is a hurdle/risk we have to overcome in order to ger skin in the game.

Is everything changed to your name through the deed/title, or is there separate paper work that must be completed
