Buying a foreclosed home is not much different than
buying a home from a regular seller, with a few small
exceptions. First of all, the seller doesn't live in the
home, the seller is a corporation that may be located in another
state, or the seller may be using a company called an
"outsourcer" which could be located around the world in
another country.
Secondly, the seller has no emotional attachment to the property,
there once was a mortgage, now there isn't. The seller has
lost money, a lot of money. They lost the mortgage, paid
legal fees, paid for a court eviction, paid back taxes, water
bills, paid for maintenance and other carrying costs and all they
want to do is make that money back minimizing their loss.
Third, the seller won't be coming to closing. In fact, most
of the documents will be faxed, emailed and/or sent next so the
day air. It may be one of the fastest closings you ever
attend.Select from the links at the left to learn about real estate,
