Foreclosures — somebody else’s loss is your gain

Friday, April 17th, 2009

Do you feel bad for the family that gets foreclosed upon by the bank because they didn’t make their payments timely? Aw, maybe.
Do you feel bad for the bank who now owns an asset worth substantially less than the liability originally lent? Perhaps.
Either way, that is the market at work, and their loss can be your gain! Foreclosed properties are an excellent opportunity for you to pick up a home or income building for pennies on the dollar. Yes, purchasing a REO (real estate owned, or bank-owned property) is a cumbersome and slow and annoying process, but it is often worth the wait for the patient investor.

Not everyone is ready to be a landlord, though; it can be a tricky, unpleasant undertaking.
