Default Why Buy Foreclosures?

Right now the market is flooded with foreclosed homes. Quite often you may find that the banks are willing to take less for a house simply because they have so many they need to move them. Thats why foreclosed homes are typically great profit makers for house flippers.

One thing for certain though, foreclosed homes will need repairs. They were lived in and not repaired before being vacated. So it is critical that you have a home inspection done on the house before you make the final decision to buy.

Of course you should have any house inspected before you buy it. I don't care if it's a brand new house, just built and never lived in. Sometimes brand new things can be faulty.

Foreclosures are everywhere on the market right now so you definitely have some choices available to you.

Default Re: Why Buy Foreclosures?

Hello...

Regarding foreclosures, what is the recommended method for finding them? Do most flippers use one of the online services? Or is that same information available for free?

Thanks.
