Buying Foreclosures, Short Sales, and Distressed Properties

Distressed properties are often the best opportunities for investors willing to put in the work. But they come with risks if you don’t understand the process.

Foreclosures

Foreclosures can be purchased at auction or directly from banks. Discounts can be steep, but condition issues and liens are common.

Short Sales

A short sale happens when a lender allows a property to be sold for less than the mortgage owed. They take time but can be negotiated below market.

Other Distressed Properties

Divorce sales, estate sales, and code-violating properties all fall into this category. These often allow investors to negotiate big discounts.
