The first and most important thing to do is find a Real Estate Professional
who is familiar with forclosure properties. Next is to be prepared to purchase the property in it's as is condition.This sometimes causes the
property to be non financable. The Banks will not allow you to make repairs
prior to recording. They are also not prepared to perform any repairs the appraiser may require.
Then there are Goverment Backed Loans through HUD (Housing Urban Developement).This provides you with a government backed FHA Mortgage
at a low interest rate. This will only be possible if you are owner occupying the property. There is a time period you will need to use the
property as your permanent residence. After the time has passed you will
be able to refinance the loan into a conventional.
