couple of things to consider. first, do you already have a property in mind? If not why do you want to only consider Foreclosures? Is it just that you want a really good deal? If so, there are a lot of good deals out there, you just have to be patient and make sure you have a good agent to assist you with your search.

Connie said it right in her post when she mentioned bank time-lines! Be prepared to be very patient!

As a local Realtor in the area, I've noticed that in Evans you will rarely find a foreclosed listing that does not receive an above list price offer. That doesn't mean that you can't get a great deal, It simply means that people always bid on these properties, so make sure your bid is a good one!

Robert,
First have you got your financing in order; if not do that.
Then find a good Realtor, and sign on with them, they are your best bet to get a good deal.
When you find the property, you must make an offer quickly, if not you will lose the property!
Buying a foreclosure is complicated because you are working with a Bank and their time-lines not your own or an owner!

Good Luck,
Connie
