Foreclosures have reached an all time high. According to the Mortgage Brokerage Association there were 200,000 foreclosures nationwide for all of 1986. It’s estimated that the total number of foreclosures across the United States for 2007 will be 800,000! This is a growing market with phenomenal opportunity. Keep in mind, though that not all foreclosures are a great investment! Some foreclosure properties are houses with termites, rapidly spreading mold, or have been condemned. Foreclosing property can range from lower income condemned buildings to million dollar mansions and valuable commercial property. This creates a prime opportunity for investors who want to buy houses for pennies on the dollar. Like any type of investing, do your homework and research, then buy the prime foreclosure properties and flip them for tremendous profits!
