Advantages of Buying a Distressed Property

First, you'll be dealing with a highly motivated seller – either a bank in the case of a
foreclosure, or in a short sale, sellers who are in financial trouble and very
interested in getting out of a mortgage they can no longer afford.

These types of sales take much of the emotion out of the process. You won't be
insulting anybody, for instance, if you make an offer that's lower than the asking
price. (That's not to say that the low offer will necessarily be accepted, of course.)

Lenders are extremely interested in getting these homes sold and off the liability side
of their balance sheets. Many foreclosed properties can be purchased for only a
percentage of what they would have commanded five years ago. (This situation is
beginning to change, though; bidding wars are breaking out on some foreclosed
properties these days, especially those that are moderately priced. Your RE/MAX
agent will know what's going on in this area and will be able to help you arrive at a
reasonable strategy for making an offer.)

If you're looking at a short sale, you're not likely to get quite as good a deal as on a
foreclosure. But there are definite advantages to purchasing one of these homes. For
one thing, since the homeowners want to get the home sold quickly, they are likely to
keep it well-maintained and in good move-in condition.
