What are foreclosure properties?

A foreclosure property is real estate acquired by a mortgage lender when the borrower failed to repay their loan. Foreclosure properties are an exciting and smart way to invest in real estate because these properties can be purchased at discount prices, typically 20-50% below market value. These discount prices are possible because the sellers – the mortgage lenders – are motivated to sell as quickly as possible to avoid further losses. As an owner-occupant buyer, you can purchase a foreclosure as your home and enjoy instant equity. As an investor, you can buy foreclosures for rental or resale with built-in profit margins.

For more information about the different types of foreclosure properties and how you can purchase them, read our articles.

How do lenders foreclose on a property?

Lenders foreclose on a property according to the laws of the state the property is located in. States that use mortgages to document property ownership follow the judicial procedure, which requires lenders to file a court case to prove default before they can foreclose. Because the court is needed to approve the foreclosure, a judicial foreclosure may take more than 30 days to complete. States that use deeds of trust to document property ownership follow the non-judicial procedure, which does not require a court case. Non-judicial foreclosures may take as little as 30 days to complete.

Can people make money investing in foreclosures?

Absolutely! Many great fortunes have been created through real estate ownership and investments, and buying foreclosure real estate can be very profitable as these properties are often sold 20-50% below their market value. Of course there are no guarantees with any investment, but all across the country people earn almost immediate income by buying and quickly selling foreclosure properties for big profits. Foreclosure properties make great long-term investments, too. Often landlords purchase foreclosures to rent to tenants, producing positive cash flow while building a re-sellable business. And if you’re looking for a home, you could gain a significant amount of equity up front with foreclosures.

How do I get started with foreclosure investing?

The first step of any financial investment is to study the market you’re interested in, and RegistryLine.com offers plenty of articles on the various types of foreclosure properties and how you can take advantage of this market. Once you’ve familiarized yourself with foreclosure real estate, search our nationwide database of thousands of REO foreclosed properties with a 7-Day Free Trial. Everyone from real estate professionals to first-time homebuyers subscribe to our database of foreclosure properties.

Do I need a realtor to buy foreclosure properties?

You may feel more comfortable using a realtor or other real estate professional to help you through the process of purchasing a foreclosure property, but you don’t need a real estate agent to purchase a foreclosure property. One of the great benefits of our database of REO foreclosure properties is that it allows you to find and purchase the properties you want directly from the seller, cutting out the middle man and freeing you from having to pay commissions and other fees.

If you’d like more information about how you can take advantage of the foreclosure market and purchase foreclosure properties, read some of our articles.

How do I find cash to buy foreclosures?

There are plenty of ways you can finance your investment in foreclosure properties, including the conventional means for purchasing real estate, such as commercial lenders, hard money lenders, and partnerships with investors.

If you have good credit, taking out a loan with a commercial bank or a mortgage company may be the best way for you to finance your foreclosure purchase. Look into your local bank or mortgage broker and shop around for competitive interest rates. Also, sometimes the lender that’s selling the foreclosure property may finance your purchase.

If you don’t have good credit be aware that there are other ways to finance your purchase. Hard money lenders – also known as private money lenders –mostly loan money for real estate deals, including the purchase of foreclosure properties. Hard money lenders will loan money to people who can’t obtain conventional financing, and because of this hard money loans usually carry high interest rates and fees. Despite such costs, because hard money loans have less red tape, they’re often used by people – such as real estate agents – who want to quickly buy and sell property for a fast profit.

If you’d rather pay for your foreclosure property with cash, look for partners who would be interested in providing some money in order to take a cut of the profits you’ll make when the property is resold. Your partners could be friends and family, or anyone else interested in investing in a foreclosure property.

Whether you partner with investors or obtain a traditional or hard money loan, make sure that you do your homework and understand the contracts you’re entering.

What should I be aware when buying foreclosures?

When purchasing a foreclosure property, you should be aware the properties are sold in as-in condition. Still, that’s not too much to worry about – most REO properties are in relatively good condition and are certified for occupancy.
And as when purchasing any property, you should arrange your financing in advance of making your initial offer. When you do this, you’ll be in a better position to bargain with the seller, and closing the property will be a much smoother and faster process.
