Buying Foreclosures Not As Sexy As You Might Think

In today's real estate market many buyers who are just starting their search for a home, get excited at the the thought of being able to purchase a foreclosure. The general perception is that you can buy a great piece of property at a steep discount. While this may be true, no one seems to mention that most of these properties are in disrepair. The amount of time, work and money its going to take to make it a home again can prove to be far to extensive for most buyers. In this video I walk you though a foreclosure that has just come on the market in Boston. If you are thinking about buying a foreclosures you may want to watch this video.

I have a client just like that who thought they wanted to buy a foreclosure. Finally after looking at about 6 homes they woke up to what most foreclosures are all about.

Robert great job in spelling out the terrible condition that most forclosured properties are in. Forclosures are not for the meek at heart.
