Keep in mind that not all foreclosures are good bargains. You must perform your due diligence to make sure the foreclosed home you want to purchase is priced at or below market value of similar homes that have recently sold in the area. Be sure to have an inspection because all Los Angeles foreclosed homes are sold in an “as is” condition, whether you purchase a bank owned REO property or buy a foreclosed home at an auction. Many foreclosed homes are in poor condition. In fact, don’t be surprised to find foreclosed homes stripped of their kitchen, including counters and cabinets, appliances and even the kitchen sink as well as their bathrooms with missing toilets and vanities. Angry homeowners take these items out of the home prior to being foreclosed upon. If you are handy, you can fix the home up yourself and save a bundle. Market conditions have never been better to purchase Los Angeles foreclosed homes.
