More Information for Foreclosure Investments

I realize that the previous post about the foreclosures was a bit incomplete because I did not really leave you with too many links that you can use to actively research the foreclosure market. Having these tools listed in this article can help you decide whether an investment in the foreclosure market is a sound decision.

Finding Foreclosures

As mentioned in the previous articles, foreclosure listings can be bought in three different phases. Those three phases are:
  1. Pre-Foreclosure (Short Sale)
  2. Foreclosure by the Bank (Courthouse Steps)
  3. Sold/Auctioned as a Foreclosure
Below are some of the links that you can use for researching these properties. Please hover over the links for a description of each link.

Due Diligence

Part of the due diligence for determining whether or not any property is a good investment is find out key pieces of information. Some of the things to research are:
  1. Crime in the Area
  2. Schools in the Area
  3. Property Taxes to pay
  4. Previous value of the home
Below are some of the links that you can use for researching this information. Please hover over the links for a description of each link.

Getting the Finances in Order

The last and in my opinion, the most important step is getting your finances in order to purchase any kind of investment. In addition to the information listed in my previous post below is a website that contains great information to help calculate whether or not you are in a good position to finance an investment.

Great Place to learn about Financing an Investment

I hope that these links assist in your decision of whether or not to pursue an investment in real estate. Please share with us any other links that you find useful to assist you in your decision of whether or not to invest.

Stay Disciplined!

First of all I want to say wonderful blog! I had a quick question that I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing. I've had a
tough time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there.
I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems
like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin.
Any suggestions or hints? Many thanks!
