the best holdover from a foreclosure lived there almost 9 years always pays on timeothers craigslist  good ,bad,and ugly

I have another friend who paid someone to hand out flyers door-to-door and picked up a couple fixer-uppers and pre-foreclosure places.

I think the only type of properties where my low ball offer would work for such a high valued property would be foreclosures, but I don't have what I need to do those, or do I, does any of this work or make sense?

It should therefore be no surprise that the 'owner' of this property might face foreclosure.

I am observing my first foreclosure auction on Tuesday.  

I am not sure of the current stats on owner-occupied homes in the neighborhood, but I would say a fair number of people had to rent theirs out due to the market being flooded with foreclosures and still not recovered.

Sky Mikesell here based in Charlotte NC. if this is a foreclosure sale then most states allow for an accelerated removal process of any stay over occupants. .. when i say accelerated that means it is faster then traditional eviction proceedings.    

Im curious what type of investment i should be looking for pre-foreclosures, foreclosures, REO, short sales etc.

I dont want to look at things this way, but I figure if we are looking to buy a house anyway, why not try and chase down some foreclosures and haggle with some banks in order to get my feet wet and just see if I can find a good deal.

What we are seeing now is that the banks are insisting on using foreclosure and REO comps as sales comps and slashing the value like crazy.
