Can some of you experts give me suggestions on where I can get detailed information on buying property at different stages of the foreclosure process? I’ve seen a few things out there but nothing too good. Is is best for a private party to work with a real estate lawyer or broker? I know there are additional risks involved and I’d like to minimize them where possible. Thanks.
I think a real estate agent can help you in the early stages when a property might be in a short sale or pre-foreclosure. Once the bank decides to foreclose and the property goes to auction it’s not your normal acquisition process and personally I think you need to consult an attorney for some advice. There are lots of traps out there. You should also check with the auctioneer to learn about the process – e.g. how payment is to be made and how/when you can conduct inspections.
Thanks for the info…
