The foreclosed property is the house that was taken back by the lender usually a bank when the people could not pay the house payment. After three months of missed payments the bank will take the house back and evict the people in the home.
The people living in the house have to get out after the foreclosure process runs its legal course. They failed to make their monthly payments. In most cases the house will need repair work because the people will neglect the house during the legal process.
The people will sometimes even trash the house on purpose because they want to ruin the house to get back on the bank somehow. But this not always the case. The people looking to move into a house will want one with the least amount of repair needed. The property investor will want a good deal and not be as concerned with the amount of work needed.
He will rehab the property and sell it on the retail market or turn it over to another investor for a profit without rehabbing it. Find a good agent to work with when looking for foreclosed properties.
These are the agents you want to work with. They know the process and will give you the straight talk about your bid and chances of getting the home you want. Do not get emotionally tied to the process though. The bank does not care about your wants or needs. They want the best deal they can get.
This can be difficult for the first time home buyer who finds the house they really want to move into. You have to remember that there will be other bids on the house and the bank will take its time in choosing the bid it will accept. So you have to have a back up plan and you need to accept the disappointment that might happen if your bid is not accepted.
