    In NJ, the timeframe can vary county to county due to the sheer numbers of foreclosure lawsuits filed... from 200 or so in Hunterdon, to 2,000 in Essex...

    on average, I'd say about one year from the lis pendens to Sheriff's Sale... again, depending upon the roadblocks thrown up by the Homeowner.

    I once had a Client who successfully dodged Sheriff's Sale for 11 (eleven) years.... That man knew how to play the system.

    Some states sell properties within 90-120 days from the first notice of default or Lis Pendens but in some states it can take a year or more.

    Things that can slow up the process is:

    Bankruptcy filed
    Work out's
    Attorney delays
    Proper notice was not given
    The terms of sale were unconscionable
    The sale was conducted fraudulently
    That justice was not otherwise done

    probably closer to 100 per month in your area... and yes, the Homeowner will either have resolved their problem by then... or realize that their options and alternatives are limited and be receptive to less than conventional alternatives.

    You will find that many are able to resolve their financial dilemma the first or even the second time, but most never learn how to manage finances so they get into trouble yet again.

    I just closed a deal today from a letter that was sent 2 years ago and the property owner called me.

    It's just a numbers game, if you play the numbers long enough you can come out a winner.

    Look at it this way, if you market your self you let others know what you do, if you do not market your self no one will know what you do.

    Lets use you numbers say 300 a month and use my cost per letter of .52 each and you spend $156 a month in sending letter and you only do 3 deals a year making say just 5k each. You spend $1,872 to make $15,000. Looks like a good return on your investment!
