Buying off market REO

[Richard Bradshaw]

I was driving and saw a vacant property, after some research I found out who the owners were. While searching for their contact information, I realized they were in the middle of going bankrupt. That Monday the property owner was listed as Bank of America asset division (or something of the sort). I have the number for the Bank of America office. If I contact them, can I negotiate a purchase before the house goes on the market?

Yep, waste of time trying to talk to the bank.  Odd that the bank actually got title during the BK.  I have one now, owners did BK 2008, house still in their name.
