[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ The Forum Board ] [ FAQ ] Almost my first time :) Posted by JTB on March 11, 2002 at 11:24 PM At about the same time that I became interested in investing in foreclosure properties, a few weeks ago, I just happened to come across a nice fixer-upper . . . made the call and found out that it was priced at $9,500 but was already under contract. So much for that, however . . . As I've never done anything like this before, what should my strategy have been? What important questions should I have asked, etc.,. Also, I probably could have come up with the full amount somehow, but if not, could I have put down a percentage to get things moving? Could have blindly whipped out the checkbook and gone with 50% right then and there . . . I know that I'm probably asking for a ton of info right off the bat, but I'm really excited about learning that a purchase like this could have been made so easily(?) . . . and that if there's one there's more. Am I thinking too far ahead of the game? Thanks in advance!
