Pre-foreclosures - Minimum Risk, Maximum Profits

By Clifford Carr

Pre-foreclosures are homes and/or property that are about to go into foreclosure. This is where some of the best deals are made. These are generally negotiated directly with the owner, who is eager to avoid the grief of foreclosure.

Pre-foreclosures properties are increasing in numbers every day. Real estate agents understand that investing in pre-foreclosure homes is definitely one of best ways to secure a profit. The timing couldn't be better then now to get involved in the real estate game because of the sub-prime crisis and other external difficulties facing home owners today.

Rather than going to an auction, buying a pre-foreclosure home may be a better option. At an auction, you usually require the necessary cash on hand in order to participate. Without the down payment, you cannot bid. Buying pre-foreclosure homes, however, doesn't necessarily require any deposit. This is ideal for anyone with limited liquidity, while still enabling them to purchase the home.

In the pre-foreclosure sale, you will personally meet and work directly with the home owner. Although the owner may be distressed about loosing their house, by the time you arrive they may see you as a saviour that can help salvage something before foreclosure.

A huge benefit to buying a pre-foreclosure is the ability to examine the property ahead of time. Because the current owner is still living on the property you can physical knock on their door and have a look around and examine the house. You can even discuss with the owner as to any current problems with the functionality of the property. If you time it right and the owner agrees you may also be able to get a home inspection done.

Pre-foreclosures provide the opportunity to see what sort of work needs to be done to the premise, and provide you with an idea as to the budget required to do so. You now have much more information then you would before a foreclosure auction to make the right decision of whether or not to purchase.

Hopefully this article articulated some of the advantages that buying pre-foreclosures is a good alternative. All real estate professionals consider this method as one of your best value options when it comes to purchasing a home - 23159
