Tips for buying a foreclosed home
May 14, 2009 By Leave a Comment
It doesn’t matter where you want to settle and grow roots or invest in real estate — foreclosures are scattered throughout the United States and ripe for the picking. Finding the one that is right for you, however, is the true challenge.
Just because a property is termed a “foreclosure” doesn’t mean it’s the best deal available. On the contrary, there are some bank-owned listings out there right now that should not be considered deals because, when compared to the rest of the inventory out on the market, they simply don’t stack up.
So what makes a great real estate deal?
That important question is one that we answer in detail in our May 2009 edition of “Investment Exchange,” which we have dubbed “Prospecting for Great Deals.” Remember that “Investment Exchange” is a FREE resource that Foreclosure.com provides its site visitors.

It sounds tired and cliché, but the tried and true adage of “location, location, location” still rings true today. Indeed, if you’re going to get into the foreclosure game, you’ve got to do your homework and buy smart.
Of course, a killer location is meaningless in terms of profit margin if you overpay. So you have to price it right and find a below-market deal, as well as finance your purchase on the cheap if and when possible.
How exactly do you do that? We tell you all about it and more in “Prospecting for Great Deals” right here.
Now more than ever, achieving the the American Dream at half the cost is a very real possibility. There has never been an easier, more exciting and lower risk time to buy. But these conditions can’t last forever … the time to act is NOW!

Foreclosure vandalism prompts Palm Beach County response
May 5, 2009 By 1 Comment
Palm Beach County, Fla., has been hit hard with a wave of foreclosures, registering nearly 2,500 active foreclosures on its books in April 2009, according to our most recent statistics.
It’s naturally had a significant negative impact on several neighborhoods, which are already struggling to maintain the highest possible property values because of the massive collective dip in home prices that has gripped the entire South Florida region.
As if the growing foreclosure situation and declining home values weren’t enough to handle, vandals and squatters who are often drawn to vacant homes are exacerbating the situation. Indeed, broken windows and the like have forced the county commissioners to take matters into their own hands.
Here’s a snip from Barbara Alterman, head of the county’s planning, zoning and building department, according to a Palm Beach Post article:
“There is a lot of vandalism going on. It is maintaining the neighborhood by allowing them to board up when there is vandalism. It is helping the neighborhood by keeping vandals out.”
Boarded up and shuttered homes are certainly not going to help banks move their inventories any quicker — it’s not the most eye-catching/appealing marketing tactic. These properties also won’t help raise the values of the inhabited homes on the block.
However, it will help preserve the homes until new owners move in, and perhaps more important for you, it could help you get into a very nice home at a price that you can afford. In short, it’s not an ideal solution, but one that you could use to your advantage if you are in the market for a real steal.
