You'd be surprised to know that it's possible to purchase property for as little as $10,000 even in areas where there has been a property boom. We're not talking about bits of land in far remote places that have little or no chance of profit in the near future, we're talking about common homes that should be worth a lot more!
Obviously purchasing property at these kinds of prices or up to 90% lower than the market value, means the potential for realizing huge profits from your real estate investments.
These properties are called foreclosures or seized properties and are put on auction at drastically reduced prices by the government or a bank after the mortgagee has defaulted on their mortgage payments and/or declared bankrupt. Its probably a sad fact that hundreds of thousands of homes end up in foreclosure every year. The banks want to recoup as much of their loan as possible but to sell these homes at their market value is a time consuming and costly exercise, so they have foreclosure auctions to try to recoup their money ASAP. Don't be sad for the banks because they have their own insurance that will cover them for the money lost!
You can find just about any kind of property at these auctions. You can search through listings anywhere from commercial properties to vacation and rental properties, single-family houses, multi-use houses and townhouses. All of which you can get for up to 90% off their market value.
The combination of a big discount off market value and adding value to the property through property renovations, can realize some excellent profits for your real estate investment dollar. Just remember that you should still apply the normal rules of investment as much as possible when purchasing foreclosed or seized property. For example, remember not to over capitalize the property by spending too much on adding value or renovating the property. You should make sure any value you add will return more than what you pay for the renovations.
Most cities in most states in most countries have these auctions on a regular basis. You normally find these advertised in the newspaper or there are various services now available online that will search foreclosed auction listings. Many of these are paid services but the potential profit you can make from foreclosed and seized properties is definitely worth the small membership fees that these services charge.
