Pre Foreclosure Investing and Profits

By Jilly Willson

For the informed buyer, pre foreclosure homes can provide a lot of profit A home facing foreclosure contains the three elements that make for a very lucrative investment if the buyer has the wherewithal to close the deal. Because owners of pre foreclosure properties are facing financial challenges, they are often ready to accept almost any offer. All of this points to a huge upside for the property buyer. The biggest hurdle in the deal is getting the bank to agree to the terms of the sale instead of forcing the home through the pre foreclosure process.

The challenge when buying these types of property is that the bank often has a more negative view on the dealEssentially they are in a lose lose situation and will evaluate sales offers based upon what will minimize their losses. If a property owner has stopped paying on a mortgage and the bank has put the home in pre foreclosure, then the burden is on the real estate investor to demonstrate that their purchase offer provides the most effective means for the bank to minimize their loss on the deal.

A result of this fact, real estate investors often assemble complete packages to plead their case to the bank. They get to know the loss mitigation agent of the bank that owns the property, and learn what is needed by the bank to complete the transaction.
