Courthouse good . . . but I can think of better ways to pull it off. The key is to be the only guy in town who knows a particular property is headed to foreclosure.
Think about all the things that happen before a foreclosure is filed at the courthouse. Think about the things the buyer does before his situation gets out of hand (he trys to get refinanced, he moves, he gets his power turned off, etc.). Think about all the things a lender does before having to resort to foreclosure (he orders a drive by appraisal, he sends a field rep out to inspect or talk to the borrowers, etc).
Figure out how the system works in your area and figure out how to put yourself into that system so you’re in the path of foreclosure clues. What if the guy who pulls power meters for non payment is sending you leads? How about working a deal with the local U-Haul guy to have your “I Buy Houses” card on his counter? How about making a deal with the local process server? How about becoming a field rep for an inspection company . . . or how about starting your own?
I get a list of every water meter pulled for non payment in one particular town. You?
Joe, how can I get the list of properties that have water turned off for nonpayment? I called the city water dept. in my area and they said that information is confidential. I was hoping it would be considered public records info.
