It's no secret that professional investors are currently profiting from the foreclosure market.  They know when the time is right for buying, and the time is now.  Current economic conditions make the foreclosure market as lucrative as it's ever been - perfect for small investors who desire to add small rental homes to their portfolios.  With the sub-prime mortgage market experiencing significant challenges, adjustable rate mortgages pricing homeowners out of their normal payment range, an increase in unemployment, and the slowdown in home sales, there are literally hundreds of properties going to auction in some areas of Texas.

We really are experiencing some unique market conditions that may prove to be one of the greatest transfers of wealth in our lifetime.

The good buys are out there, but they require research, persistence, preparation and patience.  Properties located in great areas or locations  and in good shape generally will not sell for large discounts, whereas properties that may not be in great shape may sell a larger discounts.  You'll often find in our area that if too much money is left on the table during the auction, the lender will actually bid against you to get the property back, hoping to make more money from the foreclosure on a typical sale.

A property doesn't have to go into full foreclosure before opportunities arise for foreclosure investors.  If you, as an investor, can manage to identify a property that is about to go into foreclosure beforehand, you can actually attempt to negotiate the purchase of that property with the current owner before the lender ever has the chance to foreclose on the property.  It's much more difficult to accomplish this in person, because homeowners that are about to be foreclosed upon often have no desire to talk with anyone about their current situation.  And, if you are successful in contacting the owner, you'll have to negotiate the terms of the purchase and be aware of all pending liens on the property prior to reaching an agreement.  In short, you need to do your homework.

If you're interested in learning more about how to purchase foreclosures, there's a wealth of information you probably should be aware of before pursuing that dream.  Once you've mastered that information, you also need to know which properties are coming up for auction in any given month in your area of interest.  Keeping current with the local market will help ensure your success.
