forsalebyowner.com, forsalebyowner.com, fsbo.com and other selling websites(No

"owner will carry", "rent-to own", "terms". Are usually by wholesalers and other
investors, so stay away from these quoted terms.

13. Lender�s Auction Site(Banks)-Auction.com:


a. What: When they send the homeowners notice of sale, they prematurely list it
for auction in an attempt to get full price despite their awareness that the
property is usually discounted due to its condition and status. They will list it
on auction.com as �foreclosure sale� a.k.a �bank owned�, but in truth it is pre-
foreclosure meaning it is not yet bank owned since the foreclosure has not
occurred, then they place details of it as �occupied�, if it is occupied, then it
is not bank owned, it is just a sales tactic to make as much.
b. How: You use Propstream to see if it is a �notice of default� (pre
foreclosure) or �foreclosed�(REO-bank owned), then check if the deed is still in
the name of the homeowner or the bank via recorder and corroborate it with
Propstream information. Use Assessor�s website to find the property�s and begin
your marketing for motivated seller and stop the foreclosure since it is still at
the pre-foreclosure stages. Pre-foreclosure stages(notice of default) usually takes
1-3 years on average to foreclose especially in mortgage states where a formal
judicial proceeding is required.

26. Ebay, Yes Ebay


a. The most desperate people go here, but be prudent of scammers just as in
other platforms
27. New construction(New neighborhoods): These people buy new homes because
builders work with realtors and mortgage companies to give them down payment
incentive and inaccurate lower pricees which is attractive, but most buyers have
buyer�s remorse, when they attempt to sell, the buyers see signs of the realtor and
mortgage company rather than to directly to the seller, but the realtor cannot sell
in the way the home owner wants to sell, so you go in there, sign contract with
them, take the image list it for sale to build buyer�s list, then close with the
seller. Make certain they are ready to walk away. These types of people actually
exist!

responses to find the best way to assist them, and assure them you will make an
