Before a bank actually takes back a property during a home
foreclosure; a period of time must be served in which a
public notice is given. This is known as a pre-foreclosure
and it is your best opportunity to begin reaping the huge
profit potential available in this sector of real estate
investing. It is easy to locate pre-foreclosures because
banks must publish significant details related to the
pending foreclosure for the public auction that usually
follows.
Why is it better to take advantage of this situation at
pre-foreclosure rather than waiting until the property has
actually been foreclosed upon by the bank?
This is a golden opportunity for you, first, because it
means that if you are able to convince the homeowner to
sell the property to you rather than waiting out the
foreclosure you can avoid haggling for the property when it
goes up for public auction. You see, if the homeowner is
unable to come up with the cash to make the mortgage
current then the next step will be for the property to be
sold at public auction. This means that you'll be bidding
against several other interested parties and there is a
chance that you may lose out altogether or else have to pay
more than you need or want in order to obtain the property.
Secondly, when you attend a public auction you need to
basically have cash in hand or be able to put your hands on
the money in a very quick fashion. When you deal directly
with the seller you have a little leeway here. You don't
necessarily have to walk in with a cashier's check.
In some cases the bank will actually purchase the home
back at the auction and then they are stuck with trying to
sell it after the fact. This is not a desirable situation
because it is usually not in the bank's best interest to
make it a well known fact that they have foreclosures.
While they need to get rid of the properties for financial
reasons, it is simply not good publicity, to make it known
that they have foreclosed on someone's home. This can make
it more difficult for you to deal with them. In addition,
the bank will be incurring fees every day they hold the
property and you may end up paying more money than you
would have if you had been able to attain the property
directly from the homeowner.
