When starting in real estate investing, one of the first places you probably looked was mortgage foreclosures. Many people claim to have the "secret" to buying and making money with the foreclosure market. However, with many different strategies for successfully buying and selling foreclosed properties, each investor will eventually find their own "secret" to making money in real estate.

If you're hoping to get your start in real estate investing, one of the first places you probably looked was mortgage foreclosures. You probably contacted (or tried to, anyway) owners of properties who were about to lose their homes due to non-payment of their mortgage. If you were lucky enough to get anyone to answer the door or phone, you tried to strike up a deal with them to buy the property and make some money on their equity.

The truth about foreclosure sales is that the vast majority of foreclosed homes do not go to investors but are sold back to the lenders which repossessed them. Foreclosure investing has increased in the number of purchases being made over the last few years. But this increase truly reflects the soaring number of homes going into foreclosure.

Foreclosure investing though it can be challenging, can be very rewarding if you understand the ropes and have good helping resources. If you willing to take a little risk foreclosure investing is for you. There are billions of dollars invested in real estate every year, and many investors make a good living with foreclosure investing. My web site will look at the basic aspects of foreclosure investing

Foreclosure investing requires very little money down because both the sellers and banks are motivated. No matter the economy, foreclosures are a fact of life even in good times, but the current economic situation has made this time an unprecedented opportunity. Even with interest rates changing, and loan revisions being made, you can find foreclosures in almost every town.
