I heard about a good auction at 777 Punchbowl. Do you know a useful website for current information about that? How did you get in?

For Sheriff’s Sales, foreclosures, tax sales and judicial sales as well as any other sales a county or state may have, you’re going to discover every county in every state/province/territory operates and does things a little differently than the one next to it – even when its in the same state or province.

It requires LOTS of time and diligence.

This is what I learned:

The best suggestions I can offer:

For the work which NEEDS to be done BEFORE the sale, there really isn’t any website.

1] Go to your county court house to the Sheriff’s Office. You might even be able to get the info you need on-line BUT there may be a charge for the on-line access.

2A] It doesn’t make any difference whether you live in a large city or a village/borough, make the investment of time to go to the County Court House or City Hall. Visit the Recorder of Deeds Office/County Clerk’s Office or whatever the office is referred. The names are different, but the Office’s function is the same: to record ALL REAL property documents.

The ladies and gentlemen in the City Hall or Court House are there to help the folks who come there to do business and take care of various matters about that city or county.

3A] Ask for the rules for Sheriff’s sales and foreclosures. AND ask for the information you need to participate and bid on property. Ask for a list or if they are hanging on the wall, grab one or two.

3B] JUST for practice you’ll need a specific, actual address – even if its your own, a friend or relative living in that same county or city. The property owner’s name would be very helpful. Ask an employee in that office how to research a property. Write down and/or remember each of the steps you are shown.

3C] After being shown what to do and how to do it, research the one or two properties you have at the Recorder of Deeds Office/County Clerk’s Office.

If you get stuck, ask for help.

4] If you are able to do the research, attend AT LEAST 3 of those Sheriff’s Sales. You aren’t going to bid on any property. You aren’t going to buy any property. You are there STRICTLY as an observer. You want to see how the process works.

5] At the sheriff’s sales and foreclosures, you’ll probably see the same faces at sale after sale.

Offer to take one of those folks to lunch or dinner and discuss your intentions.

Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it!

Yes, that is my real last name!

I don’t have any money for down payments, my income is low, (about 3,500 per month), my credit score is low, and I’m in the process of selling my home in a short sale. I want to create this cash flow as a means of supplement income and then eventually my main source of income. Is this doable?

You may have to wait a bit, but don’t worry, housing prices will probably drop some more.
I suggest buying a rental unit and living in it. Your tenants can pay your mortgage-or at least most of it. Research the tenant-landlord laws in your area as well as financing options and prices of multi-unit homes.

Is there a way to discover which realestate company’s/agents get these? Details/websites appreciated!

One way you can try to find out who lists foreclosures is by picking up a homes for sale guide and reading the ads. The ads that say "being sold as-is" or "proof of funds required" are usually foreclosures. See which Realtors have more listings like that. Another, probably faster, thing you can do is call some real estate offices and ask if they have any agents who specialize in foreclosures or who usually list foreclosures. I used to be a Realtor and there were 2 or 3 people in my office that usually listed foreclosures. If you call a real estate company and ask for someone who lists foreclosures, the secretary will know who to put you in touch with. Also, as long as the foreclosures are put in the multi-list system then any Realtor can tell you about them and show them.

Tango Squad is set in the Halo universe, and centers around a small squad, and I mean small, that has been tasked with guarding something. While this may not seem interesting in itself, it leaves a lot of time on their hands to discuss various topics.

I have a buyer for a piece of property. I don’t have a contract written up yet with a lawyer. What should I have buyer sign and should I get a small down payment until papers a re ready? How would I write this receipt up?

it is called earnest money. i would go to legalzoom.com and look for a land contract. it is the document you are looking for and they are cheaper on that site than going through a lawyer.

your borrower, if they are getting a loan, will be helped by the loan officer as well. title company will still be involved to protect you both.

good luck

I’m considering placing a bid for a property in my subdivision that has recently gone up for auction. The auctioneer website lists this property as a "Resale". I’m trying to figure out what this means.

Either they’ve tried to sell it before at auction or it’s an REO property. The only way to know for sure is to ask the company. Does it really matter?

I want free information about realestate investment that doesnt require a fee and doesnt want me to purchase any iformation regarding this informstion.

No Money Down usually doesn’t mean there is no downpayment. It just means the money down it isn’t your money. Which if it isn’t your money, it’s usually money you are borrowing, or money coming from a partner who wants a share of the ownership in some way, or a share in the future profits.

The idea of paying money you don’t have for real estate courses, is the fundamental premise to No Money Down investing in real estate. If you can find money you don’t have to pay for the courses, maybe you can find the money you don’t have to pay for the real estate you want to buy.

Yes, after finishing the courses you can call yourself a real estate investor, but you will find you are just one of many who call themselves that term. There is risk involved in any real estate investment. Buying the piece of real estate is just one of the steps to making money. You can be an investor who loses money as easily as you can be an investor who makes money.

Many of the No Money Down courses you see on late night TV want you to find a property and real estate deal that fits the guidelines the course sets out. When you find such a property, you call someone else to help you with the next steps and the future profits are split (usually quite unequally) among all the parties involved.

"No Money Down" is not a myth. It is a concept used by developers, and real estate purchasers of every size, from very small scale investors, to mega-million dollar and billion dollar investors. It is a premise used in commercial real estate all the time. The deal is structured in such a way as to make a profit for the purchaser. Any money used as a downpayment is returned with interest, making the deal essentially, a No Money Down one.
