Is buying a foreclosure a good deal? It depends. Although a property is bank-owned or foreclosed, it doesn't mean you can get it below market value or get a great deal.

Often, you can find a great deal on a foreclosure. However, as the market improves, banks increase their asking price. As a result, they receive higher values. The margin between the top of the market and the bottom market decreased, so margins investors aren't concerned with margins when buying foreclosed properties.

There are lots of ways to buy foreclosed properties: HUD homes, Fannie Mae properties, independent bank-owned properties, and REO packages. REO packages allow investors to buy multiple homes at once. Some investors can even purchase 100 homes through REO packages. You can also buy a foreclosure at the auction.

For example, a clean, ready-to-move-in foreclosed property in a nice area could be a bargain. You can purchase a home from the bank and move in immediately. An outdated property that needs repairs will cost you more money, of course.
