Is buying a house that was forclosed on different from purchasing any other house??Looking at forclosure properties in Cali and while some are a great deals it seems maybe to good to be true.

 
It's not really different. The reason why foreclosure properties are usually good deals is because a bank wants to get rid of them ASAP. Also some of them might not be as good of condition as some other houses might be. Foreclosure properties are worth checking into. If you get a realtor involved he or she will be able to help you go through the purchase process on a foreclosure property. Sometimes the bank might not be as flexible as a seller as an individual would be but all real estate transactions are different so it's really hard to say what's going to happen.

Reija when you said a bank might mot be as flexible..What were you referring to??
 
I know what she meant. She means in a PRIVATE PARTY deal instead of the bank owning the property, an in dividual owns it and thier flexibility is usually more than banks
