That’s a real estate investing recipe for success more often than not, especially if you can discern between money pits and money makers. When it comes to flipping foreclosures, or even purchasing a discounted distressed property as a primary residence, it’s critical to spot the “diamond in the rough” before someone else beats you to it.

Distressed properties are often in less than tip-top shape, but it’s that shabby exterior that is concealing the massive opportunity for riches for those investors who know how to take advantage of great deals when they see them.

Spotting a diamond in the rough isn’t difficult, but it does take the right knowledge and an open mind. You need to be able to see past the unsightly condition of a home that has turned off other investors to determine if it is really worth your while.

The September 2011 edition of Foreclosure.com’s free educational newsletter, “Investment Exchange,” is now available, which shows you how to find and capitalize on those diamond-in-the-rough properties that are just waiting for an investor like you

Learn how to hone your detective skills to uncover these amazing deals before your competition does. The potential financial rewards will be well worth your time.

Potential real estate buyers who plan to apply for mortgages to finance their home purchases must have pristine credit reports … or as close as possible.

Short sales are a hot topic these days.

It should come as no surprise, considering these real estate transactions now represent a huge share of the housing market because of their tremendous profit potential.

Short sales are simple math:

Lenders agree to sell distressed properties for less than is currently owed on the mortgage balances because the current owners are (likely) in — or about to — default. Bargain-hunting buyers (that’s you) score great deals and often enjoy instant equity bumps since they’re paying less than the properties are actually worth.

This month’s edition of “Investment Exchange” is devoted to acquainting (or reacquainting) you with short sales. You’ll find tips and tricks to make the process go smoothly, plus the new number one way to find qualified short sale listings in your area (For a hint click here).
