Your best bet would be just honestly get a really good investment insurance policy on the property.

For investing, your best bet is to keep networking on BP.  

Sounds like a safer bet?

When it ceases to be positive cash flow you gotta get out, no matter where you purchase.I am good with taking the risk with a $50K to $70K all in-house in Indy versus the $350 - $500K house here in NOVA. 

- TomI was just thinking about the DOM also- If she's willing to spend money on it every month even though she's no longer living in the house- I bet she owes too much to sell it for any thing under her asking price. 

"pre-foreclosure" is a sexy term - but it really doesn't mean anything without qualifying an individual situation.If you want to have a better chance of success getting a property which is inevitably going to be foreclosed upon, it's a safe bet to start by looking at market comps and then adjust your number based on the condition of the property and the situation of the current owner.  

She should tell them she's spoken to a lawyer and I'll bet they give her deposit back.

I also bet a good guy name Mark Shaffar recently on BP who has deals in the midwest and Milwaukee.  

I asked him about the differences in financing when I deed a property to myself versus an LLC.  

This is the power that every person can harness by standing on their story versus subcomming to a defeatist mentality.
