Are Foreclosure Homes Worth The Risk?

 

as is home repairs

Foreclosure Homes and other types of distressed properties can appear to be attractive at first blush, but you should know what you're getting into before you get serious about investing in any foreclosure home or property. 

Low Prices Can Be Misleading

Foreclosure homes are typically owned by lenders such as banks, mortgage companies, and government entities or insurers.  There are many reasons why these institutions will price their foreclosure homes attractively.  This is largely because the majority of foreclosures are sold AS-IS, and many need serious repair. 

Costly Repairs To Many Foreclosure Homes

Many of these foreclosure homes have significant amounts of deferred maintenance, which makes the cost of repairs much greater than may be obvious.  When you seriously consider buying a distressed property, it's extremely important to know how much of a financial margin you'll need to take care of fix-ups, improvements, and the unknowns. 

Trusting Banks Is A Big Mistake

If the challenges in sizing-up foreclosure homes wasn't enough to make you apprehensive about buying a home, you'll also need to arm yourself for negotiations with the bank.  Bank negotiators will attempt to alter contract provisions, push unreasonable property inspection rules, and force other terms into the contract that'll increase the risks.  Banks make more money this way, and that's how the game is played. 

The bottom line is that bank asset managers will do everything possible to sway the transaction in favor, and to maximize profits.  Banks are not interested in win-win negotiations or fair-mindedness.  And they won't lose any sleep trying to take advantage of you!
