You could start buying and rehabbing. I suggest wholesaling. You can do it in any market with great success. A word of advise from someone that has been doing this for over 6 years. DON’T follow the next best thing. Wholesalings your best option in any market in my opinion.

Ask a realtor to send you listings or call some local wholesalers. You could also go to your local reia.

You can try to contact them but from my experience they won't talk to you with authorization from the homeowner.

I'm in the St Louis market and it doesn’t seem to be a huge deal here in this market.

I would talk to your title compnay. They will tell you about their policies with land trusts and in some cases can provide you with one. They should also be able to tell you if they will do a double close and let you use the buyers funds which is the best way.

If your dealing with reos you have to have an agent. They won't work with you if you don’t. If you don’t want a buyers agent try dealing with the listing agent, but know in most cases won't work with buyers. It seems strange but that’s just the way it is.

You can contact people that have recently had a dismissed bankruptcy.

Wholesaling is the only way to go when you get started. Its easy, doesn’t cost much money and you can make a ton of money.

It's not too late for a shortsale until the home is foreclosed on. As far as finding the heirs, who cant find them?

Reo agents are busier than ever they may not have the time or extra help in their office, maybe that’s one idea or they may just not prefer to work with buyers. It could just be a preference. I have heard this a lot with reo agents. They just don’t want the hassle.
