The two-year anniversary of what is now your premiere resource for distressed real estate information and education, Foreclosure.com’s “Investment Exchange” newsletter, is almost here.

We’ve come a long way since our debut, which is the reason we want to reset and touch on things that you may have missed along our journey in our April 2009 edition.

Regardless of what we cover each month, whether it’s short sales or tax lien certificates or some other interesting investing method, our primary goal is to always provide you with the tools and resources you need to achieve your real estate goals, whatever those may be.

And what the all often boils down to is how to find the best real estate deals in your area. So that’s exactly what we wanted to touch on in “Investment Exchange Two-Year Review.” We’re going back to the basics!

Real estate investing can be a very tricky endeavor for those looking to get their feet wet — there is a laundry list of items of which you need to be aware at every turn throughout the process. Therefore, we recommend that you surround yourself with people who have experience in certain areas, freeing you up to do what you do best … whatever that may be.

Practice what you preach.

That’s the motto here at Foreclosure.com because it is impossible to run the most successful distressed real estate Web site on the Internet without everyone at every level having a firm understanding of the foreclosure process from the bottom up.

So it’s Thursday morning and instead of braving the commute south to our corporate headquarters in Boca Raton, Fla., I am headed east for the weekly “class trip” to the Palm Beach County Court House in West Palm Beach to provide Foreclosure.com staff members with a refresher course on the auction process.

It’s company policy that we offer this type of activity annually to introduce some of our new employees to the actual experience, as well as keep the topic fresh on the minds of our more experienced team members. From customer service to human resources to programming, all personnel types from every department at Foreclosure.com are invited to participate in the weekly excursions.

Let’s quickly take you through a typical day for us at the court house.

… and the best source for foreclosures and other distressed real estate data available anywhere, according to HitWise.com:

So search with confidence for the lowest home prices in your area … everyone else does! CLICK HERE.

Foreclosure-related sales are still going strong, according to the most recent housing report from the National Association of Realtors(R), accounting for nearly half of all real estate transactions in January 2009.

In fact, the increase in these types of sales caused the national median home price to dip 14.8 percent when compared to data from just one year ago, going from $199,800 in January 2008 to $170,300 last month. The national median home price is essentially the middle of the market — half of the homes sold for more and half sold for less than $170,300.

Here is a snip from NAR chief economist, Lawrence Yun, on the distressed real estate renaissance:

“It appears that in many instances a buyer can get a really good deal on a distressed sale … Home buyers are evidently competing for homes with deep discounts.”

Indeed, home prices on distressed real estate such as foreclosures are remarkable right now, coming in at up to 50 percent or more off normal market value. And we’re not talking about a few properties here and there — there are great deals sprouting up everywhere.

It’s now become the rule rather than the rare exception.

The interest in cheap foreclosure homes is also more than likely the reason Foreclosure.com has been experiencing record-setting traffic figures in the last few months. Our server has been getting crushed around the clock with curious bargain shoppers located throughout the United States.

That’s good news for us and them, as well as our nationwide network of real estate agents and brokers. We have assembled a dynamic team of industry professionals who are easy to contact and are always standing by to help our buyers make the best purchase decisions possible.
