Re: forcloser

There are about three fairly good paperback books on how to find and buy properties in foreclosure.

Properties can be acquired by showing up and bidding at foreclosure auctions, or by negotiating with owner/borrowers for a home equity purchase contract.

Understanding the legal ins-and-outs as well as the marketplace is absolutely essential to making consistent profits. It also helps to know a lot about physical inspections and how to check the condition of title.

Buying at auction requires cash or bank letters of credit for the full bid amount.
