When you’re looking for a new home, there’s a chance that you will be looking for a foreclosure of some type, and honestly, who can blame you? The price of property can be a bit expensive, but if you shop at the right places and place the right bids, you might be able to find foreclosure listings that provide you with a much lower price overall, and for some this can really be saving grace. That being said, let’s talk a bit about Smarte Foreclosure Listings and what the company can do for you.

President Seth Phillips announced today the opening of their new website SmarteForeclosureListings.com.

Seth explained the unique information this site displays.

“Yes indeed there are hundreds of foreclosure lists BUT let me explain some little known information on the trustee auction foreclosure process.

As an example in Los Angeles there are over 1000 properties A DAY scheduled for auction.

Typically around 80% of these property sales are postponed or cancelled, 15% are sold at the auction (actually not sold but rather they just go back to the bank that had the loan) at the full amount owed on them.

No one buys them because the present value is much LESS then the amount owed.

That means out of 1000 properties scheduled for auction only around 50 of them sell to 3rd parties (investors).

This is the trick. The bank has the option of setting the opening bid at the auction at any amount they choose up to but not more than the amount owed to them by the borrower.

The amazing thing is that 90% of the time the banks don’t announce the reduced bid properties until THE MORNING of the sale.

The magic of our data is we only display properties that have a reduced bid on them.

So you are only looking at the banks reduced bid properties.

Not trying to sort through the other 950 properties every day that are of no use.

I have seen NO OTHER list that can claim this.”

How To Buy Foreclosure Homes And Flip Them For Profit.

Someday history may define 2010 as the greatest real estate wealth building year ever. You can easily understand the concept that following one the biggest and fastest real estate market declines in decades that the upside of the next appreciating market cycle is HUGE.

This article aims to offer a brief outline of the steps to success in foreclosure home flipping.

Is there a chance to make money right now? Yes, this is a great time to buy homes at greatly reduced prices and re-sell (Flip) them for profit. Thousands of homes are sold at trustee auctions everyday and anyone can buy them.

The trustee sale is the last part of the foreclosure process. All notices have been given and the owner has not been able to get current on the mortgage payments. Now the property is sold at a public auction to the highest bidder and the lender sets the minimum bid up to but no higher then the actual amount owed on the existing loan.

It most areas these sales are all cash only. Unlike a traditional sale these auctions are as-is, where-is, buyer beware sales. Of course you most do your home work or you can get hurt. The upside to dealing with all of the challenges is the competition is greatly reduced thus the substantial discounts.

Allthogh there are many items to consider this is a partial list of the items you should evaluate before you decide.

• What are other similar homes selling for in the immediate area

• What title conditions exist such as back taxes owed

• What will it cost to refurbish the home to get maximum value

• Is there a good re-sale market in that neighborhood

• What are all your costs such as closing costs, taxes, commissions

• If you make a mistake can you afford it

I hope you get the picture that this is not a risk free strategy. You most do your home work. You must have some money to do business with. And you must have courage.

That said there is big money to be made IF you do it right. As an example in my primary market (Los Angeles) every day there are many properties sold with $100,000 to $150,000 margins between the buying price and the now market selling price.

This is no exaggeration. You can check with public records to verify this. Realty Trac is a national company that gathers extensive information on foreclosures and this can be an invaluable tool in your success. Among the services they offer is notices of upcoming auctions. You will want this information so as to pick out the homes of interest to you and begin your research.

Once you are confident you know your numbers you will go to the auction site and bid. You should visit the auction site several times before you need to bid to obtain a feel for the process. The auctions are regularly held in a few different locations and you’ll see the same auctioneers representing the trustees for the lenders there. You can ask them questions and the nice ones can be very helpful.

You will likely be required to have cashiers checks and you most register with the auctioneer before bidding. Pay attention as the property can be called at any moment and when you miss it you will need to find another home and start all over again.

If you win one congratulations. And if you don’t there will be another opportunity and then another. The foreclosures will certainly keep coming for a while but eventually they will dry up and the opportunity will go away.

There are many ways to make money investing in real estate. There are various more ways to lose money investing in real estate. There is one strategy you can count on perhaps the most simple of all. Buy at the bottom. When you buy at the bottom the only way is UP!

So check it, pick a entry point, and jump in. This could truly be a once in a lifetime opportunity to make some great money flipping homes.

Foreclosure homes for sale can be one of the most cost-effective ways to buy real estate in today’s market, but it’s important to understand that securing the best deals means knowing exactly the right steps to take. Many professionals investors find that buying low-cost foreclosure properties is much safer and brings in better profits than does investing in other types of real estate. Here they may learn that in order to obtain the most lucrative price, investors are best served to purchase property directly at a foreclosure sale on the court house steps.
Finding about the right property at the right time is very crucial as the foreclosure market is highly competitive and everyone wants to secure a good deal for themselves. Regardless of the preferred method for locating distressed properties, it is imperative to thoroughly comprehend the different foreclosure processes in order to develop and implement a successful investment strategy.
