If by entered foreclosure you mean a notice of default has been filed against the owner, one thing you could do is to contact the owner and see if they'd be willing to sell it to you.  If they owe more on it than what its worth, consider hiring a short sale negotiator, or a short sale specialist real estate agent to help get the sale approved by the bank.  The bank will wind up paying the commission for these professionals anyway.

One thing to consider, when dealing with homeowners in foreclosure in California, there are some homeowner protection laws you need to be aware of.  Here's a link to them:

California Civil Code 1695

Have an agent set it up on a notifier so that when it comes available, you are instantly notified. There will ba a couple weeks for it to go through its process.

Are you paying cash or getting a loan? If you are getting a loan, you may have to wait 90 days for anti flipping.
