Getting into Sheriff Sale Properties
I am running into a problem....I think there are some potential risk adjusted returns on certain Sheriff Sales, however I NEED to get into these properties before going to the Sheriff Sales and bidding up to my limit.
Even if I know certain houses are vacant I am having trouble finding who to get in touch with to get into the house for just a few minutes to take a look around. I tried contacting the Attorney listed on the Notice of Sheriff Sale and the Attorney said they do not handle the property management during the period of foreclosure and that was the end of the conversation.
I was thinking I could throw the contracted Property Manager a few bucks to open the door for a bit and let me walk around but it sounds like there is no one to contact on this front since no one is managing the property.
Besides breaking into the houses, I don't know where to turn to next to get into these houses so I can get an estimate of repairs and maintenance.
Anyone else have experience with this issue or how they get into vacant homes to get an idea of repairs?
