Many owner finance agreements that I’ve worked on Have very extreme foreclosure clauses.

Foreclosures are expensive.

I would not worry so much about it going to foreclosure, if the ex-wife lets it go.

Here in Florida, you have up to 7 years to start foreclosure proceedings on the property.

Hello, can anyone advise me on what would be the best way to obtain a foreclosure list?

I would like to hire a investor friendly lawyer who can do a DIL or Foreclosure.

Saying land contract, you really don't want to go there as there are now deed issues, the fact that they circumvent foreclosure laws and you may be restricted as to having maintenance, repairs and getting building permits or other "official" matters accomplished since you won't be in title. 

With that said, if I am comfortable risking a small amount of cash upfront for a truly great deal to keep it from foreclosure, etc. and I don't have time to get a title search completed, I will usually just get the seller to sign a pocket deed (along with a couple other docs and loan info) to protect my interests.

I have been trying to break in to the investing arena through the aquisition of foreclosure listings with the intent to wholesale or fix and flip.

Hello all-I'm in the middle of negotiating with the VA on a foreclosure deal and I'd like to know about any pitfalls that I may be unaware of before making my counter offer.
