Pre Foreclosed Home Buying Guide

When looking into pre foreclosure homes it is important to note that the process may entail procedures that are different than going through the bank, HUD or other government foreclosure agencies. When houses are in pre foreclosures you will often approach the homeowner to make the offer rather than the bank. This is advantageous to you for a couple of reasons. First of all, buying pre foreclosure homes gives you more time to research the property history. Just by knowing the condition of pre foreclosure homes you can achieve up to 40% in discounts below current market value. Houses in pre foreclosures also have another benefit: tenant occupation. Owners of these pre foreclosure homes are more apt to keep up the property in order to leave with something, however little, to show for their equity. If you’re diligent enough to find houses in pre foreclosures you will find it often times easier to deal with home owners than with banks after foreclosures have taken place.

Another huge advantage to purchasing houses in pre foreclosures is that you can cut out the listing agent. If you have the tenacity to contact the owners of these pre foreclosure homes before they go on the market then you have room to negotiate better terms that please the banks, the homeowner and most importantly – you.

If you’re wondering how to find these houses in pre foreclosures rest assured that it is a rather simple process. As an investor you are already aware of the need for marketing. Many investors send out postcards to various neighborhoods that tout their ability to rescue homeowners from foreclosures.

Another way to find homes in the pre foreclosure state is to access one of the many national databases of available homes via the internet. The key is diligence, patience and the willingness not to take rejection personally. No one wants to lose their home and some homeowners will wait until the eleventh hour before conceding that their home is indeed going into foreclosure. Be prepared to act quickly when you get that call.
