Supposedly, there's verbiage in the legislation that heavily protects the homeowner from foreclosure scam artists.

@January Johnson - we have been marketing heavily to pre-foreclosures for over a year now and sadly, not a single deal has worked out.  

In other markets the MLS may be more scarce, so you'll need to rely more heavily on wholesalers and your own marketing.That said, you don't have to lock yourself into one source.  

@Dave Spooner We invest heavily around westwood, cheviot, college hill areas., now that we are slowly inching towards 100 doors, it has been great so far !!
