Finding Pre-forclosure homes
I am on the verge of jumping into the real state industry. I have been researching, talking with many different people who are already established in real state investing and I want to start investing. I have a few close investors who have the capital, a real estate agent, subcontractors that I speak to almost daily and are ready to get started when ever I pull the trigger. What methods have you used to find great deals like preforclosures, for sale by owner, foreclosures before they hit the mls where I'd have to compete with the more established investors. I am not looking to really wholesale but to use my first property to per say "get my feet wet". As it's not my money and I want to get the best deal to start out with. How have you found good deals outside of the MLS and as is condition properties? Thanks in advance for any feedback or advice.
