short sale just moved to foreclosure

[Jose A. Serrano]

HI, I am new to the Bigger Pocket and thinking about trying Real Estate Investing (Sorry I have not completed my profile yet but will work on it this week. Need help). I am testing the water by trying to get a home for my daughter in NC for owner occupy, no for investment. We found a short sale property we like in a perfect location for her and seems to be of a good value. The issue is I just found out by searching public records that the property just moved to foreclosure about a month ago. I really would like to get this property. Does any one have any idea how can I approach this to have the property before it hits bids? Any suggestions please?  

Thank you in advance,

Jose
