If you don't have any cash on hand for the moment, you can get a loan. Have a consultation first with an agent to see if you are qualified. If you are qualified gather the information you need.
You will be able to find a list of foreclosure homes on the internet. The list will also be published in local newspapers. You can also find information for auctions online. After you have gathered enough information visit the houses to stake out possible properties that you can buy.
Determine your budget. How much are you willing to pay for the repossessed house along with the repairs? If you're planning to resale the house ask your agent to calculate the property's value. If you're planning to lease it after buying the property, calculate the monthly rate and do some market research.
Once all the research and calculations have been done place a good bid on the property. After you have purchased the house have it inspected and appraised. Then look for a title company to research the history of the house. When you're satisfied with your repossessed house you can now start the repairs or live in it. - 23199
