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

Investor by Default ?

So I was thinking of buying a foreclosure in Pennsylvania by buying a foreclosure which are cheap (think Reading , Allentown )

Which you can pick up foreclourses cheaply....

Anyone ever bought property in this state?

In these counties?

Any help would help

hey guys.
I have a situation I need help with. To make a long story short, I was talking to one of my coworkers at work and she was telling me how her did lives out of state and owns a house in the town right next to use. He is renting the house to a person that wanted to buy it but now that they bought a new car the bank will not loan her the money for the house. The owner is ready to sale because he needs to use his va loan to buy a house and move back. I don't know how to handle the situation with someone living in the house and he living out of state. It would be kind of hard for me to go by and look at it. Can I get some help please and thank you.

I would like to hear any recommendations regarding asbestos removal.

The BBBG Formula & The 5 Point Condition Factor
You have comps based on (1) CATEGORY:
3 beds, 2 beds, 1 beds, etc.
Full, 3/4 or half baths
Basements or not
Garages, carports or street
I call it the BBBG Formula (bedrooms, bathrooms, basements & garages). It should be the basis of your initial comparison.
Yes, I know…age, square footage and construction type (stick or brick) matter too
Next…
You have comps based on (2) CONDITION:
New construction
Fully rehabbed
Livable and clean
Livable, needs work
Complete beater

These range from “highest price” at the top to “lowest price” at the bottom. You can’t compare a “beater” to “new construction” and think you’ve just comped the house
Stupidly Not As Obvious As “Some” Suggest

I have exclusive rights to a hotel located in GA. Asking price is $3,150,000 plus 3%. It is a flagged hotel and has a bar/restaurant on the premises. The seller will only allow me to give information regarding property to a BUYER only, no reps or brokers allowed. If you are a hotel buyer and if you are interested in getting more information, contact me. haggertyhill at embarqmail dot com.

Nothing is working, except for me. I'm going from 6am in the morning until midnight every night at my job and doing this in-between. I cannot find houses. I call realtors and they don't call back. It has nothing to do with what I say to them. They are all....yes...okay, but personally, I think they have their cash buyers already.

I foudn a motivated seller and she laughed at our offer.

Banks won't talk to me and attorney's hang up on me.

I'm getting very very very tired.

Any ideas????/

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, I live on Long Island in New York. My partner lives in Manhattan. Right now, we are working on finding deals In Nassau and Suffolk County on Long Island. I have an outstanding political contact that gave me a list of about 30 addresses AND the SCTM# to homes that are abandoned and foreclosed. We drove around and looked at all the properties and they are awesome and in prime areas. These properties have not gone to the realtors and are bank owned. How do I get the banks or the banks attorneys to talk to me and allow me to make a cash offer? I have all the cash buyers I need and I'm so frustrated. I have tried twice and no offense to those in the business, but these people are rude and obnoxious.

I totally recommend this site it costs about $40-$50 a mo & comes from Sean O'toole the founder of foreclosureradar.com

I don't even know how to fully use this site yet but already I am comping out props with it & they are really good comps too. the comps my agent sent me didn't even include some of the comps on propertyradar.com bc i think it also pulls off market comps.

when an agent sends us comps they are only for MLS props that have sold they dont include off market or fsbo's from what Im told.

anyway you can also find out props that have equity, or owned free n clear or out of st owners or all 3 combined & get mailing lists for them. you can find out owners of course, foreclosures too etc.

CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME THIS LIST OF THINGS A BUYER SHOULD CHECK BEFORE BUYING THE PROPERTY. I REMEMBER I SAW IT A FEW YEARS AGO AND NOW I CANT SEEM TO FIND IT. I REMEMBER IT WENT SOMETHING LIKE

WINDOWS
GUTTER
FLOOR CONDITION
ECT.ECT

THNANK YOU.
