Investing in Pre-foreclusure makes more sense
Probably you have thought about investing in real state, but you have not done it because you thought you needed plenty of money in savings for a down payment, and perfect credit score along with strong banking relationships. Well it does not hurt to have those assets, but it’s not necessary to have a huge pile of cash and perfect credit score to buy a house cheap. It’s especially not necessary in the pre-foreclosure market. Pre-foreclosures are houses in the default phase of foreclosure; where the bank has filed the initial foreclosure papers, but the sheriff sale where the bank auctions off the property has not occurred yet. Buying during the pre-foreclosure period is one of the best ways for anyone to get involved in real estate with a substantial discount.
Let me give you some reasons why:
1.) When people are in default on their mortgage they have stopped making payments to the bank. So when you are negotiating with the seller or the bank, right up until the point when you buy, no-one is making the payments. They are losing money everyday and this gives you an advantage right of the bat. Lenders are under pressure to liquidate bad loans rather than take the property back
2.) Sellers in pre-foreclosure are some of the most motivated sellers you will find. Their world has been turned upside-down, they are about to lose their house, and their motivation is such that they just want out of the house and the bank off their back. They are likely to take a low ball offer.
3.) Buying a house in pre-foreclosure enables you to create unusually large equity increase. Recent economic uncertainty has caused a lot of foreclosures, and rising rates will cause more in coming years. By requesting the lender a discount of what is owed on their payoff, large equity can be created on houses that are totally “maxed out” with loans. This cannot be done on loans that are not in default and since you are buying the property at a lower price, your down payment and closing costs will be much less reducing your investment considerably.
Make no mistake about it; there are many ways to make real estate investing, but when you look at how easy pre-foreclosure makes it to buy houses cheap, it makes more sense.

Your priority is to find out what your loan terms are. Ask if your mortgage rate is fixed or adjustable. An adjustable loan rate often causes homeowners a sense of anxiety and urgency since they can end up paying more in only a few months due to a rate increase. A fixed rate is more secure for a homeowner. The rate never changes before you initiate a refinance. I hope this helps!
I read similar article also named Investing in Pre-foreclusure makes more sense, and it was completely different. Personally, I agree with you more, because this article makes a little bit more sense for me
