How Long Before Sherriff Sale Should You Contact Owner?
here in ohio i can get a list of sherrif sales amonth before the actual sell. is amonth long enough to make a deal with a owner or have they giving up and will let the property go to sale? I need some feed back I have names and numbers of owners who house will go to sell feb 13 any suggestions? 
The moment is Now!
Look for the truly motivated ones, and things should fall into place before feb 13.
When you say "make a deal" are you talking about a straight up sale? If so, 30 days should be sufficient time to do your due diligence, order title, and arrange your financing. If you intend on trying a short sale, 30 days is, in my opinion, the least amount of time you'd want to have to give you enough time to gather the necessary information, prepare and submit your proposal, and allow you enough time to due your due diligence, title work, and arrange for financing.

thansks for responding.what I mean is what is the best techniqe to use at this time subject to or short sale and how could I wholesalr thes properties?
Your best option is short sale. And I agree, you need at least 30 days to have a shot at a successful short sale.
If you have cash to purchase a Short Sale would be good. If you trying to Whole Sale the property after the Short Sale make sure there is enough equity for end buyer. Good Luck
