I tried craigslist and i thought i had found some sweet deals but every time i e-mail them about the apartments they tell me the home is behind on it's payments and is in pre-forclosure and i need to join a site to view the home and actually get to see it....which leads me to my second question if anyone can answer it. What is a pre-forclosure? Is it like paying off a reg apartment month by month or is it like a mortgage type (where i need to get a loan first). I dont know it just sounds fishy to me gettin a place for like 600 a month when it can easily go for like 1700 a month...
