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!
