Minnesota Short Sale Homes

Your question is more of a marketing question then how to get into pre-foreclosure. My suggestion is to goto barnes and noble and pick up a
couple books on it. You would be suprised on how much there is on this
topic these days. even a couple years ago it was hard to find anything on
them but now it is common knowledge. Reading these forums will get the
majority of your questions answered that come to mind after reading a
couple books and getting the foundation laid.
As for the examples of marketing that you mentioned… To each his own.
Court house works well but you need to have a different message then
everyone else, be consistant at sending the letters, and do mass amounts
because it is a numbers game. Bandit signs work wonders, calling
houses for rent, looking on post sites, and even talking to agents that dont
do shorts because right now agents are sitting down with a lot of
sellers that cant list the traditional way because they owe too much and
the agent doesnt know that they could do a short sale. tell the agent
that you want every contact they get that they can not list because the
seller is upside down and just tell them you have alternative ways of
helping the seller. if the agent cant help them… tell them to at least
let you help them.
Most importantly, before you step into deep water you need to at least
know how to tread water, let alone swim. The worst thing you can do is
get a seller and not have a clue on where to start. so go do a little
reading and research to get comfortable and then start looking for
sellers. I dont agree with being an expert before you start because the only
way you become one is by doing it and messing up from time to time so
dont let research hold you paralized but u need to have a plan. I
always tell people who get stuck in research mode, you goto the library and
i will goto the bank.
Good luck!
