HOW TO BUY A FORECLOSURE 101

Even though Chicago doesn’t have the high percentage of foreclosures that other parts of the country have, the pricing makes them extremely attractive.  If you are interested, even after all the discouraging words I have written, you can get some really good information from a CNNMoney.com posting, 7 Tips For buying foreclosures.  To read it,  just click here.

The seven tips are extremely practical and can be very, very helpful.  My mind has not changed–foreclosures, short sales and any distressed property ara best suited for an experienced real estate owner, an investor, or  someone who can do a fixer-upper.  Faint hearts stay away!  They are not the best choice for  a first-time buyer, anyone with a set time frame, or anyone who gets nervous during the process of negotiating and waiting to close a real estate transaction.

If you would  like to investigate the distressed prperty market–just give me a call.  My direct line is 312-981-2360,  or cell phone, 312-607-1306.
