The Four Stages of Foreclosure
Great deals can be found in all four stages of the foreclosure process. Where you begin really depends on where you feel the most comfortable.
If you can help someone pay off their mortgage before legal action begins, you can help them avoid having their credit ruined.
STAGE TWO: AFTER LEGAL NOTICES ARE FILED
The grace period after the "Notice of Default" has been filed, where the owner can negotiate with the bank to pay off the remaining debt is called "pre-foreclosure." If the owner can demonstrate to the bank that he has a qualified and willing buyer, the lender might agree to sell at a lower price than what is currently owed without ruining the borrower's credit. This is called a "short sale."
STAGE THREE: AUCTION
Once the lender has foreclosed on a property, the asset goes to public auction. If no one bids on the property at auction, then it usually reverts back to the lender.
STAGE FOUR: REO
When a property becomes an REO, ownership of the property has reverted back to the lender. The buyer negotiates a deal with the lender instead of dealing with a distressed owner.
The important thing is to decide at what phase of the distress cycle you want to participate in. Each phase has its advantages and disadvantages. Your preference is a matter of personal choice and financial wherewithal.

Remember that buying foreclosure can be risky due to obvious reasons specially that the window of opportunity is narrow. The foreclosure process is fast paced and no every real estate professional is suited to deal in that environment. Juggling lenders, emotional sellers, and anxious clients can send any deal to the trash bin. So consult a qualified agent.
