$$ Save Thousands with Foreclosed Homes $$

Yes, you can save thousands of dollars when buying foreclosed properties! Unfortunately, most purchases are done by investors. But now you can also take advantage of the same tools investors use when buying
these types of properties.

Why should you consider buying a foreclosed home? Because you would be paying substantially less! Foreclosed homes are bank-owned properties that have been placed for sale at unbelievable pri
ces. In some cases, buyers can purchase these properties at 50% of the market value. These are fantastic deals!!

Why would banks sell these properties at such a low price? Because banks are not in the business of reselling real estate, therefore, they try to get rid of them as quickly as possible. Furthermore, every property that they hold in their books, costs the bank a lot of money in legal fees, permits, maintenance, property taxes, etc. Banks call these homes REO (Real Estate Owned) properties.

If you thought that by purchasing a foreclosed property you would be forcing a family out of their home, please understand this - YOU ARE NOT. When a foreclosed home is placed on the market, the family is long gone (the property is vacant) and the new owner is the bank.

If you could buy your future home at rock-bottom prices, would you pass up the opportunity? "Well..., I would consider it but I have heard that foreclosed properties have been trashed by the previous owner and are not worth it."

Even though it is true that some of these properties have been trashed, there are homes that are in pristine condition. Here is where investors and consumers differ. Investors have some tools to determine if a particular property is a good buy or not. In other words, they determine if the cost of clean up (or repair) would make it unattractive to buy.

But now you have access to the same tools investors use to evaluate foreclosed properties.

So, if you are on the market for a home, don't limit yourself to regular listings. You could be losing the opportunity to save thousands in your next home purchase. "Okay, that sounds reasonable but I have heard so many horror stories about "short sales" that I don't want to be caught in that mess myself."

I am glad that you brought the "short sale" situation. Foreclosures and "short sales" are two very different things and the terms should not be used interchangeably. Let's clarify the terms:
  • "Short Sales" means that the mortgage lender allows the current owner to sell the property for less than the amount owed. In a nutshell, the lender is willing to take a loss for the difference between the amount owed and the sale amount (which is "short" of the amount owed). Short sales take months to process and very few actually close because there are so many legal interests involved with the property. In most cases, short sale properties end up in foreclosure. Few buyers are willing to endure the pain short sale transactions bring. It is likely that those horror stories you have heard were in fact short sale transactions. I personally do not recommend buyers to consider short sale properties when hunting for a house.

  • "Foreclosure" means that the mortgage payment was overdue and the bank exercised their right to repossess the property to satisfy the debt. When this happens, the bank takes ownership of the property. Purchasing a foreclosed property is simple because, you are dealing with one entity (the bank) just like purchasing a regular home from a home seller.
Please consult with your licensed real estate agent or your real estate attorney for questions about the above terms.

Here is the good news...

If you had the opportunity to purchase a foreclosed property at a rock-bottom price, turn it into your dream home, pay with a government-approved program and move into a fully renovated home without doing any of the work yourself, would you consider it?

If you said yes, you can take advantage of a system that will allow you to:
  • find the best foreclosed properties on the market that fit your needs
  • take advantage of rock-bottom prices
  • determine if a property is physically worth it with a property inspection by an approved licensed inspector
  • have any defects repaired by an approved contractor with the assurance of a warranty
  • have the flexibility of adding upgrades that fit your needs and taste
  • use a government-approved program to finance both the purchase and repairs (one loan)
A team of professionals have combined their respective expertise to create a comprehensive system that allows you to purchase a foreclosed house without a lot of cash and without the headaches of fixing it. Please note that the system itself is FREE. This is your chance to even out the playing field with the investors.

Here is what you get:
  1. A free no-obligation evaluation of the government program qualification (This is to determine if you qualify for the government program.)

  2. A list of foreclosed properties on the market that fit your needs (No more wasting of your valuable time looking at homes that don't match your needs and taste. Only those properties that fit your profile will be sent to you.)
  3. Updates as new properties are added or deleted from the list

  4. Freedom to select the best properties in the style you want and in the location you wish to live (There are no restrictions as to where you would like to find your next home. You tell us where and we'll send you only those neighborhoods that you are interested in.)

  5. A comprehensive evaluation of the homes you are interested in buying at no cost* to you (This is the initial physical evaluation of the property.)

  6. Arrangement to have your chosen property inspected by a licensed and approved inspector (Like with any other home purchase, the cost of the inspection is paid by the buyer.)

  7. Full disclosure of costs of materials and labor required to renovate the home (Everything is disclosed in writing for you to evaluate.)

  8. Completion of all government required paperwork (This is the paperwork that must be completed by the approved contractor.)

  9. Free representation by a licensed Realtor® (Fees are paid the bank selling the foreclosed property. In fact the bank pays the fees to the Realtor® representing them and also the fees to the agent representing the buyer [you]. Therefore, it costs you nothing for the representation.)

  10. Recommendation for legal representation by an attorney specialized in residential real estate transactions (Like with any other home purchase, the cost for legal representation is paid by the buyer. You have the freedom to use your own attorney, if you have one already.)

  11. Your choice of upgrades to be included with the new home (You can fix needed repairs and also you can enhance the property with your own upgrades like additions, etc. It is really up to you.)

  12. Freedom to select all decorative elements (style, color, etc.) for the repairs and upgrades

  13. A 1-year warranty on the renovation workmanship (Besides meeting the government standards for workmanship, you will have the assurance that the work done will be done right and of top quality.)
* Some conditions apply

Yes, you can buy a foreclosed property, even those damaged homes, with a government-approved program. This means that you won't be paying those extra (and sometimes hidden fees) that mortgage brokerage offices often tack-on.


Act today!

This is a great opportunity to take advantage of rock-bottom prices, use the government's help and have the peace of mind of having a home professionally repaired and upgraded to your liking. And the best part of all, it is your best chance to fulfill your dream of owning your own home due to today's housing market conditions. Once the market changes, these opportunities might be gone for good.

The market is in your favor!

Remember, the cost of repairs and upgrades is rolled into the purchase price of the foreclosed home. You don't need additional monies or a second loan for the repairs.

The pictures below are from an actual foreclosed property that was repaired and upgraded. The kitchen splash wall was redone and the flooring, light fixtures, and the cabinets were all upgraded. To keep costs to minimum, the appliances were reused.
