Distressed Properties Real Estate Investing

Find Foreclosures, HUD homes, VA homes, and other distressed properties in your area!

Distressed properties real estate investing can be an excellent way to earn a profit with real estate as well as helping to diversify an investor's portfolio. Distressed properties are properties that are under foreclosure or nearing foreclosure due to the inability of the owners to make their mortgage payments.

Because of the volatility of the stock market, a lot of investors are seeking other avenues of investment, and investing in real estate can provide an extremely lucrative alternative. Distressed properties real estate investing opportunities can often be found for thirty to fifty percent below market value.

With real estate investing, timing is everything, and the best distressed properties real estate investing opportunities can usually be found when a property is in preforeclosure.

Preforeclosure is the period between the first notification or notice of default by the lender that the borrower's loan payments are overdue or delinquent and the actual foreclosure of the property.

Since a borrowers' future credit rating can be severely affected by foreclosure, the option of selling the property can be much more appealing than waiting until it goes into foreclosure. This is especially true for borrowers who have no other means of making their monthly payment obligations.

Consequently, property owners whose homes are in preforeclosure are often referred to as motivated sellers. These homeowners often just want to get enough money to pay the remaining balance on the loan so the lenders will leave them alone. For this reason, an investor can save thousands of dollars on a home in preforeclosure as well as receiving instant equity in the property.

If you have been considering distressed properties real estate investing, RealtyStore.com provides all of the information you need to get started. Along with information on foreclosures, RealtyStore.com also maintains a database of tax liens, which can provide other potentially profitable investing opportunities.

Purchasing a tax lien is essentially the same as loaning money to property owners to pay their taxes. You will either receive substantial interest (as much as 18%) on your investment, or get to keep the entire property if the homeowner's tax bill remains unpaid.

So, whether you decide to invest in tax liens or distressed properties, both have the potential to provide an excellent return on your investment.
