is is safe to buy a foreclosure house ?

Joanna Bateman answered:
The safest is Bank Owned/REO properties. You can look over the house, negotiate the price with the bank, have purchase contigent on professional inspections, clear title.
The MLS has added a new fields specifically used to search the MLS for REO properties. Let me know if you need any assistance. - Sun Aug 17 2008, 09:38

Tom - Essentially liens are recorded with the county clerk. You can check this out yourself at the court house, or you can get this information from a Title Company directly or thru your Real Estate agent, - Sun Aug 17 2008, 09:22
Joanna Bateman answered:
I would add to your automatic search.. no HOA. HOA's would frown on this, but I've seen communities without HOA that allow just about anything. Then add a larger lot to your search too. If you know how to do a wild card (*) search, you could include the words 'RV'. $250,000 may not get you anything in SJ, so try out by Gilroy.
If you need another search engive, signon to my Buyer/Seller Toolkit at http://www.InteroRealEstate.com/JBateman, or contact me if you need assistance. - Sun Aug 3 2008, 14:23

how to buy forclosure home?

Joanna Bateman answered:
Buying foreclosed properties are the same as buying homes the old-fashioned way. Find a house you like, make an offer, do a little negotiating, get a loan, and move in!
You should look for Bank Owned or REO (Real Estate Owned). Folks use both of these terms to me a property that has been thru the entire foreclosure process, no one bought it at the courthouse steps and now the bank owns it.

Too good to be true?

Joanna Bateman answered:
I see the same thing with other sites. Don't pay for this information.
Just sign up for automatic emails from my Buyer/Seller Toolkit, go to http://www.InteroRealEstate.com/JBateman. When creating a search, select 'Bank-Owned/REO' in the 'additional listing info' box.
