I found a vacant and abandoned home that I would like to put an offer in on. Cant find the owners but I know the bank who owns the property. The property is valued at about 400000 but last sold for 104000 in 2004. What steps should I take? Go directly to the bank or through a Realtor? Is that 104000 of any significance? I REALLY want that house guys, please help.

Not going to go into how sarcastic and rude this guy was but I am really wondering if this thing can work by just using the Realtor the properties are already listed with while I am on my search for the perfect Realtor... submit the low offers and move it right along. Id rather be writing about filling out those contracts that seem a bit challenging to conquer than, 'This Realtor thinks Im stupid' Just when I get the guts to give him an offer, he decides to tell me 'what a realtor does' Really? Glad he showed me this before we got started with anything.
I didnt get to view the properties as I intended today. Worked for clients longer that I planned to. I will definitely view some of them tomorrow morning after dropping the kids off at school. Got an email from the Realtor stating that, as a Realtor, he cannot give me the lock box codes, he will make himself available and don't forget the proof of funds letter. I said, no problem, dont forget the list of cash buyers from the MLS. I have yet to get a response from that. Why do I need a REALTOR again??? He really makes me want to get out of character with his grandiose attitude. Well guys... gonna look through some journals and posts then do online research & get some addresses together that I want to visit tomorrow. Happy Money Monday!!!!
I'm at the offering stage. I have looked at a few properties and since I have not done this before, I am a bit hesitant and not sure of which forms to use after I email my Realtor A LIST OF OFFERS....Ive seen REOs, Pre foreclosures, Foreclosures (on my own), etc. I am praying for this overwhelming-too much information-not enough information feeling to go away and be replaced by CLARITY! Why am I so scared? I read Profit..Now and feel like I am drawing a blank. Rosefield's post provided a little boost for me though. It says 'Actions are full time and offering is part time.' Ok so who else is at this stage??? Lets move forward together, there is money to be made! Any advice from our veterans is appreciated as well
