Tips for buying a foreclosure on Myrtle Beach

 

 

First of all, What is a foreclosure?

A foreclosure is 2 things together, the first part is a property and the second part is a process. Let's go over the process first. If a tenant is living in a property and misses approximately 2 or 3 payments, they will fall into what is called default. Default is the beginning of the foreclosure process. Lets not go through the entire process, But at the end of the process the property will go back to the bank. Which will then become a real estate owned property (REO) or (OROE). Now for property, the property after the long process of court etc. The property will go to auction, If no one takes it will become a foreclosure and go back to the bank.

No, not a secret agent. Hire a real estate agent who ideally specializes in foreclosure homes. This means if you have any questions you can get the answer instantly from someone with experience

Check the past 5 years, if the property has no buyers whilst still being listed at such a low price there's something fishy going on. Remember. if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true
