Is it possible to offer on REO before it hits the MLS?
I'm a first time home buyer in California that found her dream home. It was a short sale with 2 loans. Very long story short, I don't think this is going to happen. I think it's going to forclose. The 1st is held by GMAC Mortage for about 650K. I made the comment to my agent that if it forescloses I want to try and get an offer in before it hits the MLS. My agent replied "good luck with that".
Is there any kind of game plan that will allow me to offer on this property before it hits the MLS?
