Most foreclosures are probably sue to a lack of money to pay the mortgage but thats not always the case.
Sometimes people will allow their home to become foreclosed on simply because they don't want to pay for a house that has a flaw they didn't know about initially or maybe the crime rate is high in the area. There could be any number of reasons.

Is crime on the rise in the neighborhood? Are the schools not making the grade? Is the view not so pleasant? How long has the home been empty? Are there plenty of other foreclosures in the area? Foreclosures aren’t always due to a lack of money or budgeting skills; maybe the previous homeowner bought the house without realizing there was a particular blight on the property.

Because of that you really need to check on the neighborhood and have a home inspection complete before you decide on anything.
Be suspicious and cautious at all times. Look out for yourself first.
