Foreclosed Property Specialists

Rely On In The Investor Experts

You'll need a team to successfully invest in bank-owned property today.

Buying an investment property comes with a number of complexities beyond those you encounter purchasing a home to live in. Buying a foreclosed or bank-owned property presents even more issues and opportunities for mistakes -- which can cost you serious money.

If you're intent on purchasing a foreclosed home to use as an investment property, you'll need help. Here are the professionals you should have in your corner to get the job done.

1. Buyer's agent. You'll want to find a buyer's agent to represent your interests when negotiating with the lenders or government institutions that are selling foreclosed properties. That's where we can be so valuable to your investment goals.

Experience counts, and we have it in spades. Having worked with many buyers of foreclosed homes, we know exactly how the local process works and can advise you each step of the way. Just as important, we've helped many investors find foreclosed properties -- at bargain prices -- with solid potential for investment returns.

We also offer our clients a network of professional contacts that can help them accomplish their investment goals.

2. Inspectors. The best foreclosed properties get scooped up fast, which means you must be prepared to move quickly when you see a home that looks like it could be a good investment. If you prefer to have a home inspected before making a purchase offer - which many investors do - having inspectors lined up ahead of time will help you get the edge over competing buyers.

At the very least, you'll want to be able to call in a general home inspector quickly, but you should also have the names and phone numbers of professionals who can inspect homes for radon gas, mold, pests, etc. We can provide you with a list of inspectors who have served our other clients well and who can respond to requests quickly.

3. General contractor. Though you may want to get multiple contractors' estimates later, you should have at least one general contractor at the ready to give you cost estimates for any repairs or improvements -- perhaps identified by your inspectors -- that would have to be made to a property before you can rent it.

4. Legal, tax and financial advisors. You'll want to consult professionals who can review documents, provide information and advise you about how buying a foreclosed property for investment purposes would affect your overall financial situation.
