Best books? And best sources for leads?

Question

So 2 questions:

1. What are the best books or videos on getting preforeclosure homes and flipping them?

2. Where besides auction.com is the best place to find homes going into foreclosure? (Michigan)

Thanks!

I think you already have the best book :)

As for Auction.com, that's not a good source. Go directly to each county for this info (online or at the courthouse/circuit court). I've compared Auction.com's listings to my own foreclosure tracker in Wisconsin. Their list is not accurate and includes houses that are no longer in foreclosure. You'll waste time and money contacting homeowners that have no desire to sell anymore.

Sign up for the legal news for the county you are interested in

Drew Sygit · Answer

All foreclosures are required by law to be published to alert owners that may otherwise not be aware, or their family if they are hospitalized, etc.

The Legal News is the #1 paper for this.

Auction.com may be buying pre-foreclosure leads from the credit agencies - borrowers that are more than 120+ day past due on their mortgage payments.

I'm signed up for grand Rapids but it always has 0 notices. 0 foreclosures etc. Do you have all 83 counties? Is it like that for Newago and Monlcalm too I wonder.

Im at least finding some info on auction.com

Best books? And best sources for leads?
