If you have weekly sessions, that is almost definitely a coach. 

If things work out, I will give the seller money towards this process (cash-for-keys, I give the cash but do not need to deal with the tenant).

This is how I personally work out deals in my head so I can analyze them quickly, but make sure you use a more practical formula noted below.Run rental comps for the specific 0.25 mile radius and subtract estimated CapEx (1% of property value/year), vacancy (5-10% of rent), insurance, property taxes, and any other costs that will realistically affect your cash flow.

I typically try to work with people who have strong ties to people I know and trust, doesn't always work out, but that is a part of the process of network and team building.

Zillow pulls that data from the recorder's office (public information) and Zillow classifies those properties with lis pendens filed with the recorder's office as preforeclosure.During preforeclosure period, the homeowner typically has a certain amount of time in which to try to catch up on past-due mortgage payments plus fees, sell the home to pay off the loan, or work out an alternative to foreclosure with the lender, like a mortgage modification, short sale, or deed in lieu of foreclosure.Like any other property, a preforeclosure may or may not be a good deal.
