How to buy a pre-forclosure property

[Prasoum Dane]

Hello folks,

How do you search and contact owners who are in per-forclosures. What are some of the strategies people have used successfully and how does the process goes? Does it really worth to pursue those properties. There is one property in my neighborhood, which is on zillows for more than 1000 days but it is still not up for sale.

Thanks

Praveen
