I've worked with many buyers recently who have been interested in purchasing a foreclosure. We all know that the market is saturated with them and I always tell my clients, "Why not, but be careful".

I came across this article (from Bankrate.Com) just a short time back that is worth the reading when it comes to buying a property that is a foreclosure. The advice could save you money and other mistakes. I urge you, if you are thinking about making this kind of purchase to invest five minutes of your time in reading this.

Thanks for sharing. Foreclosure purchasers should always require a professional home inspection. We are still seeing water damage and the resulting mold from last winter.
