For our deals we comb through county records and look for interesting properties that have opportunity if a creative approach is taken.We are searching for a small amount of people in pre-foreclosure who have a great motivation to sell.Reaching out to the community to see if someone has pointers or ideas how to:Find online Notice of Default (NOD), lis pendens or for a Notice of Sale.

Make sure you get it setup as 15 deals and make sure that they wave the right to deficiency judgements in cases of default and deed in lieu of foreclosure.Noroc!

I've made inquiries at a few courthouses in my area regarding notices of default, foreclosures, auctions, tax delinquent properties etc. and have basically gotten a lot of blank stares or what seems like the run around.

@KimBecker http://www.tampabay.com/news/localgovernment/Real-...I also found this article which seems to agree with your way of thinking. http://www.floridaleagueofcities.com/docs/default-source/Advocacy/Issue-Briefs-Talking-Points/2017-ib---short-term-rentals.pdf?

I have about 14 student loans (never consolidated because many had great interest rates) and all of them were reported as being in default.

This way, if the sale falls through, the in-laws are still bound to you by the lease agreement, which a lawyer should draw up so it sufficiently protects you if they do default if the sale falls through.

Moving 27 tenants to home owners will take years and many will default or simply walk away.

If you default, the bank goes after THEM.

While it's a bit of a sales pitch for his newsletter, I like that he makes use of data from his 5 "vital signs" (Existing home sales, New home building permits, Mortgage loan defaults, Foreclosure sales, Interest rates)  to quantify trends rather than relying on the media and gut feeling to gauge the state of the market.Narrowing down to 5 indicators is maybe an over-simplification, since circumstances will vary in every market, but I like the idea of being able to chart some key indicators and make discussions of where the market might be heading more tangible and less emotional.Is this type of analysis a worthwhile part of a real estate investor's toolkit?

The big question is do you want documents by default or by design?
