I've never wholesaled a property before, put out in marketing or anything. But have been researching and for the first time today decided to test out driving for dollars. I came across a house that had a Last Warning Before Foreclosure Notice on the door. Whatare the   steps I would take as a newbie to make the wholesale process happen as fast as possible? thanks ahead of time for all input!

@Mehran K.  I checked it and it is owner occupied. I've always heard targeting non-owner occupied, but if an owner occupied is going into foreclosure you are still able to make a deal correct? If I was able to make a deal where he would be able to sell and save him from having a foreclosure on his record, and still have room for me and the assignee to profit?

 That's the general idea yeah, but if it's owner occupied and he's going to lose the house anyway, why wouldn't he at least try to work something out with you? Maybe the cash deal you can offer is enough for him to downsize his current living situation (as well as pay off the bank). If that's not possible, you can assume the mortgage (to hand off to a buyer) and see how much it would cost to bring it up to speed while having a reasonable down payment + monthly payments.
