Hi, yes buying a foreclosed property is good. Finding a bargain house or foreclosure property give a very reasonable price. Some here grab this as an opportunity they even earn some by buying and selling it after a little renovation.
The foreclosure market really scares the heck out of me. It seems like it is an indicator of sorts of market health…might be better to avoid the temptation of a quick buck.
Thanks for the write-up
this is a informative article I can send to family and friends in the Sea/Tac area who have been curious about the possibility of buying foreclosed properties.
Yes, there are many great deals through foreclosures (REO’s), but potential buyers need to keep in mind that foreclosures are normally priced to a point with very little negotiating room. Conventional sales where the owner might have a lot of equity can result in even better savings if the seller if motivated enough. I have been party to conventional sales that were sold for even less than comparable REO’s. Also, keep in mind that foreclosures/REO’s can be a much longer process muddled with additional paperwork.
Foreclosures are not always a good deal in all areas. Buyers in your area are lucky having this opportunity in their own backyard.
It’s actually interesting, but I feel the “deals” on foreclosures in our market, aren’t as good as they were prior to the downturn.
Good information though.
I have had many clients get great deals or foreclosed properties and short sales. It really depends on what banks own the properties but I am working with a St. Louis bank that has even done work on the homes so they could give occupancy permits. If you are avoiding Foreclosed homes you could be missing some great opportunities.
i think the hot tip, like you outlined in this post, is to buy foreclosed homes at the Auction. I’m finding that the banks… well, one in particular (BofA) are reluctant to let the homes go at a ‘below value’ price.
The book looks like a great resource!
Thanks for the post
Foreclosed property’s obviously a good option. Why try to abuse the environment and make new homes nobody can afford when there’s still a lot we can do with the ones we already have built and abused the environment for? Which isn’t saying that we should stop building houses. The point is, if we can still keep it, why not make the best out of what it can offer?
I believe the foreclosure market can be viewed as good and bad. It is possible to find some good deals on homes. Not all foreclosures are well priced though. The biggest negative is that many buyers don’t understand that there are also bargains on owner occupied homes as well. So many buyers just get stuck on “needing” to buy a foreclosure and not searching other homes as well.
Foreclosures have a lot of potential but it is very important to have an inspection done for your own knowledge. I have found short sales to be a very good option over the last 6 months. They are continually having a higher success rate (over 50% now as opposed to 20% last year).
I’m with swantron on this one: foreclosures scare me a great deal. In theory it seems like you can make some money here, but there are just so many things to consider and to worry about that it seems like a horrible process.
I appreciate the article and the information — it certainly got me thinking.
very nice article give me alot of information
A bargain on a home is a great investment only if the things improve. I feel that things will improve only if we start making better decisions as a whole and not just carry those who didn’t on the backs of those who are producing.
I agree with you, buying a foreclosed property can save you lots of money. it is also a good investment buying it at a lower price then selling it on a higher price
Foreclosures that require extensive rehabbing can become permiting and repairs nightmares.
buying a foreclosed proerty is good but this is not a big business you vcan use it at very small level. Mnay property broker working on that because they don’t have vey big deals.
There are advantages and disadvantages to foreclosed properties. I think it’s best to do some research on the property you are buying and weigh the pros and cons before you jump into anything. Interesting post!!!
Do you mean it’s good to have deal with foreclosed homes?
There are a lot of foreclosure properties in which you can invest including residential homes, commercial real estate and the like. As an investor when you buy foreclosure real estate, you must be prepared financially in terms of renovations and repairs of the properties you bought.
I really liked your blog. Foreclosures can be very challenging but my experience has pretty good overall. My buyers are educated about foreclosed properties prior to writing an offer so they know what to expect during the process, and know approximately what they will be paying out of pocket before and after close. Thanks again for your insights.
Consider buying a foreclosed property if you are looking for real estate bargains. To make sure that the price you pay for a foreclosed home is a good bargain, you should thoroughly inspect the home and think about the repair cost needed.
Yes, foreclosures are tricky but well worth it. I like the post above that talks about auctions. Of course buying at public auction is tough, but private auctions are amazing as well as short sales of course.
That is just right! You can save thousands of dollars doing a bargain.
Foreclosures are not easy to deal with in some conditions. They are indeed painful and it hurts some people badly when they lose their property.
Anything that can be done to soften the impact of foreclosures is a good thing.
