Robyn Seymour - Creating a Successful Situation on Pre-Foreclosure

When a property owner or a homeowner fails to pay the mortgage payment then Pre-foreclosure happens to them. The lender will initially send out a friendly reminder letter to let the owner know they are behind on their payments. If the property owner still does not pay, the lender sends letters of greater demand.

This pre-foreclosure phase could be good for a real estate investor. People going into foreclosure may be willing to sell the house for a discount price to an investor to save their credit. Although pre-foreclosure is an unfortunate situation, this is way to avoid foreclosure. In both cases, both the Investor comes out with a good deal and the property owner avoids foreclosure and a major dent to their credit. It is a win-win situation. This situation would also benefit the bank because they most likely don't want a property to deal with.

There are several reasons why people go into foreclosure. Things that can lead to pre-foreclosure are job layoffs, bankruptcy, divorce and more. If you are an investor looking to buy pre-foreclosures, remember that more important than money is helping people in financial stress. If you come off as greedy, the property owner will be most likely not want to deal with you. When talking with the property owner, be sincere and try to understand what they are going through. Make sure to identify yourself, letting the seller know that you are an investor. Approach positively when talking about the problems and create a deal for the benefit of you and for the seller
