Tips for Purchasing a Foreclosed Home

• Be sure to Budget Carefully. No matter what you find, do not be lured by the price tag. It is important that you ask yourself a number of questions. Ask yourself if you have the money for extensive repairs and if you are going to be renting out the home, can you afford the house if you can't find a tenant right away?

• Do a walkthrough of the home. It is absolutely vital that you do a thorough walkthrough of the home, both by yourself and a licensed inspector.

• Take a look at the neighborhood. Do your research by take the time to evaluate the neighborhood of the home you are interested in. Are there numerous foreclosures in the neighborhood, a high crime rate, disheveled front lawns, etc...

• Empty house. How long has the home been vacant? If a home has been sitting for a long time, it is likely that there may be more repairs needed to the home.

• Find out if the home has been winterized. Make sure that all of the pipes have been checked for cracks. Once the water has been turned back on, it can leak into the walls and mold could take hold.

• Check over the landscaping. Untrimmed trees, vines and/or bushes can also contribute to the deterioration of the house.

• Don't expect a quick sale. Purchasing foreclosures and short sales often require a little more paper work than the typical home sale.
