WHY?
I can't figure out why all these people are looking for foreclosures. They like to purchase overpriced houses with lots of deferred maintenance and hidden defects? (That's what I usually see)
They expect an owner in foreclosure to E-mail "Hi, I'm in foreclosure and I'm selling at 50% of FMV"???
Get real, people. There's money to be made, but it's tons of work and very high risk. Stay away from foreclosures unless you are (or want to be) a pro.
Especially avoid foreclosures advertised for sale as such. Read my old auction page if you can't figure out why. The short version: A whole bunch of suckers will see "foreclosure" and compete against each other to buy an overpriced house needing a lot of work.
There is NO LAW requiring foreclosures to be sold below market value.
