5 Simple Ways to Get Started in Foreclosures

I have spent enough time dealing with foreclosures to know that the get rich schemes about foreclosures and the gurus preaching how he/she has the system to make millions in foreclosures spending only minutes a week are the snake oil vendors of the current day. However, having said that, there are some simple steps that anybody can take to capitalize on the current real estate foreclosure market

5 Simple Ways to get started in Foreclosures

1. Take a Class: Investing in foreclosures may not even be for you. Start by attending a free or inexpensive foreclosure class preferably by a local foreclosure investor, not a guru selling dreams and peddling expensive packages from state to state.
2. Search the Foreclosure Listings: Sign up for a LOCAL foreclosure listings service and start familiarizing yourself with what is available on the foreclosure market; it may be significantly greater or less than your expectations. Local foreclosure listings services often have good resources for your area including real estate education, classes and networking opportunities. Stay away from national foreclosure providers as their information is generally outdated and inaccurate.
3. Network, Network, Network: Attend a local real estate club and start meeting other people who are already investing in foreclosures and see how they did it and get recommendations.
   
4. Find an Expert: It is very common for people to have a portion of their assets in stocks and bonds yet not know the first thing about the financial market or spend anytime tracking the market; they do this by using a professional, an expert stockbroker or financial manager do this for them. For foreclosures you should spend time researching a real estate professional who specializes in foreclosures and specifically foreclosure investing.
5. Look for a Mentor: So you have taken a class, attended some meetings and you are sure foreclosures are for you. Why not find someone who is already successful and follow their path instead of taking the road of trial and error. Real 'mentors' can take your foreclosure investing from 0-60 much faster than trying to figure out the intricacies of foreclosures yourself. (see steps 1-3 for tips on how to find a mentor: network, research and education.)
