Buying Foreclosures, REOs. Short Sales, FSBO, MLS and More

Does anyone have an idea of where to find homes in the NOD(notice of default) stage? I have an investor that will only buy homes in this stage and I can only find them in the NTS (notice of trustee sale) stage. Suggestions?

Just a short update, because I am very exhausted, but I will be back with more in depth info. later.... I have "locked" up 2 properties so far with # 3 on its way!!!! It's not as difficult as people like to make it sound. All you really need is a "DARN GOOD" RE agent who knows what he/she is doing and knows how to do some DAMAGE!!! LOL.....

I'll get back with everyone to explain more of the details on another post... But, for now I must continue signing and initialing my name on these docs.... This "FEVER" is wonderful

Just wondering because we all know the down market isn't gonna last forever, and it's only a matter of time when the up market is back again.

Hi,

We need help with the REO homes

We know this system works
We had already set our minds on investing -
We gave up our lives, and chose a completely different path. (before finding Dean)
We relocated to our native hometown.

We have been fluttering around our local areas since we are so very familiar with them and we found dozens of opportunities.
Limitless opportunities actually, but we could never reach anyone to inform us about a property.

Two properties met a few of the criteria required to reach our initial and most important goals.

Hi;

Hello all my fellow DG family,
I have a question that I know will be able to be answered here. I was wondering how I can get the bank to give me a quit claim deed on an REO property instead of a warranty deed to avoid any POS money to be paid.(I would like to get in have it repaired and sold within 30 days.) Is this as simple as asking for this in my offer via an addendum? Previously I have taken the warranty deed and in some instances had to put 150% of repairs in escrow. Obviously I would love to avoid this any advice you can give will be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance...

Matthew

First, please forgive me for such a lengthy post, but I wanted to capture each and every word my RE agent wrote to me in my email:

Good morning DG family. Well let's see I may have found my broker. Yesterday was talking to a friend. Told him that I started to do real estate investing. He told me that he had a good friend that was a broker. After talking to him yesterday and explaining to him what my game plan was. He seemed to be excited but hesitant at the same time. He explained to me that not having good credit and no money might be hard. So I explained to him some of the different techniques that you can do with no money and no credit. He explained to me being from Massachusetts it may be difficult to do.

Closing - Also known as "escrow" or "settlement." The process of executing legally binding documents, such as deeds and mortgages most commonly associated with the purchase of real estate and the borrowing of money to assist in the purchase .
Closing Costs - The numerous expenses which buyers and sellers normally incur to complete a transaction in the transfer of ownership of real estate. These costs are in addition to price of the property and are items prepaid at the closing day. This is a typical list:

Buyer's Expenses:
Documentary Stamps on Notes
Recording Deed and Mortgage
