Short Sales and Foreclosures are getting a lot of attention.If you have the patience to be able to go through all the ups and downs, not knowing until you close headaches, they can be a good deal.  First and foremost is to work with an experienced agent, secondly and just as important is to get a thorough home inspection.  Once a home goes into foreclosure or short sale status, the homeowners sometimes give up and don’t put the time or care into the property that they should.

A good list of foreclosures and short sales that are listed in the MLS is a good tool to have. I send out one weekly which has the price, tax value and suggested offer to the bank.

While you may have to look at a lot of properties to find the right one, be assured that you are buying these properties at bargain basement prices.  With a little elbow grease and some due diligence, you are most certain to find  a good investment.

If you would like to receive lists such as these on a weekly basis, drop me an email or call me at 409-7606.  For serious buyers, I also have a free website that I can put you on that will analyze the cash flow and the return on your investment for you.

Happy Hunting!
