Buying Foreclosures Can Be Profitable, But What Are the Risks?
There are plenty of reasons why people would want to buy now during this real estate downturn and foreclosure melee. Statistically, in fact, people have made their fortunes by buying when everyone else is selling. It's especially true when there are so many people "on the fence". However, there are many things to consider before jumping into the real estate foreclosure market. Many people have also lost fortunes because they were careless and did not do their homework. Understanding real estate fundamentals is especially true during a foreclosure boom, just as they were during the real estate upswing. Having been personally burned during the heady real estate days, I can honestly say that anyone considering buying foreclosure properties should arm themselves with the facts before committing to the purchase. There are plenty of reasons to be cautious about buying a foreclosure property. The number one reason to be cautious is that there are as many dis-honest agents out there as there are honest ones. In fact, they will tell you anything to get you to commit, obviously because they get a commission. And, of course, if there is a bidding war (yes these are happening now on the foreclosure buying front), they make even more! 30 years ago, my father told me, but I didn't listen (who does?), that in real estate it's all about Location, Location, Location. If your foreclosure agent is telling you it's a great deal ... it very well may be ... but is it perhaps that nobody else wants to buy there? For example, I was scammed into a property in a terrible neighborhood in California. Worse, my deal was not necessarily a "good" deal. Now, I have a deadbeat tenant and nobody wants to buy it from me at ANY price. Consider this next example. An agent comes to you to tell you that a development project is the "land of opportunity", whether in foreclosure or not. The agent even tells you that he / she had also put up their own money into the project ... that's how convinced he / she was in this project." BIG RED FLAG ... No agent should need to tell you they have money in the project to convince you that it is a good deal. I personally have been burned on this type of "opportunity". I've also heard from many people with similar horror stories. People are drawn to the "get rich quick" ideas and often put their logic aside because of the dollar signs. Another old adage says that "if it seems too good to be true, it probably is." Here's another example of the risks associated with buying a foreclosure. Most people don't bother to read the fine print. This might include disclosures or title reports. Why is this important? Consider the example of a property owner who did not make his / her city utility payments for several years. You might make an offer on a foreclosure property "as is". Once you take it over, you would be liable for back payments of thousands of dollars. Yes, that's happened to me, as well ... several thousands of unpaid utility bills were rolled into the property taxes. There are plenty more risks to consider when buying foreclosures properties. On the other hand, if you understand the foreclosure risks, read the fine print, and study the fundamentals, you could end up rich ... someday!
