Santa Ana Foreclosures Are Selling At A Huge Discount

We all have a lot of options when it comes to investing

. We can invest in stocks, bonds, currencies, futures and a lot of other things that all have one thing in common. They are just pieces of paper that we put our faith in. They are basically promises to pay later, made by a company or a country that we have faith in. But the last few years have shaken that faith pretty badly. About the only thing that these investments have that is good, as far as I can see, is that they are easy to buy and sell.

Right now real estate is a shining star in the investment world. Real estate has plummeted in value in the last few years, and today looks like a great investment bargain. A very important component of real estate investments is that you have something that is real instead of just an electronic blip. You can see it, you can feel it, you can live in it, you can improve it, you can sell it or you can give it away. Let's look at Santa Anna, California, for instance. There are a lot of homes and businesses that are either bank owned or in the process of becoming bank owned. It's easy to see that Santa Ana is a place where you can buy a real bargain.

Real estate prices are at all-time lows all over California. Santa Ana is a great example. There are over 1900 properties in the foreclosure process there. Some of these represent fantastic values. For example, on Arden Street, there is a house that once had loans of over $1 million on it and it is now assessed for $321,000. That home is now owned by a bank that is desperate to get rid of it. The next buyer will get a real deal.

Real Estate has always been a primary investment. Everyone needs a roof over their heads of some type. Over the last few years, new home owners were forced into ridiculous mortgages that created un-affordable balloon payments within 6 to 10 years. This has all come crashing down now, and these unhappy homeowners are bailing out of their now un-affordable homes. This is causing a glut of homes on the market and reducing prices so that investors can now buy a California properties that they can now rent out for a positive cash flow.

Smart investors are finding that if they buy property for half what it cost just a few years ago, they easily find eager tenants who can easily afford the new rental payments.

Low interest rates are combining with the low prices to really help the investor out. (This rate probably won't last long, but my sister just got a 30 year fixed rate loan for 4.62%. That was in Palm Desert, CA.) This really helps investors finance homes so that they can rent them out very profitably.

You can use one of the financial calculators you can easily find online to get the exact details, but I know that with both low interest rates and low purchase price it would be hard not to get a great deal on a Santa Ana, California foreclosure.
