“Program returns for 2010 after wildly successful 2009 campaign financially assisted several bright scholars from throughout the nation!”

Boca Raton, Fla. — Sept. 2, 2010 — Foreclosure.com today announced that it will reward five more college students with scholarships who can best provide a solution(s) to one of the most troubling issues facing our nation today:

“How could education at the high school level help avert and/or minimize a future foreclosure crisis?”

Foreclosure.com, which received thousands of entries from students during its inaugural scholarship program last year, will accept written essays/plans (800-word minimum, 2,000-word maximum) through its website from Sept. 1, 2010, to Dec. 1, 2010.

Five winners will be selected at the conclusion of the contest and will share $9,000 in allotted scholarship funds. The top prize is a $5,000 scholarship and four $1,000 grants will be awarded to the runners up.

All students must read and agree to the scholarship rules, which are located on the Foreclosure.com contest page at www.foreclosure.com/scholarship.

“Education equals freedom,” said Foreclosure.com Director of Education, Linda Yates. “Often we don’t know what we don’t know – where do the roots of the foreclosure problem really lie? How far back can we trace it? These are important questions. So we are eager to get answers, which is the reason we are excited to review this year’s submissions on how the future generation of homebuyers will be able to make smart financial decisions.”

In addition to the cash prizes (5) in the form of scholarships, winning submissions will also be published on Foreclosure.com.

What you see isn’t always what you get … especially when it comes to buying a house.

It’s absolutely critical that you take the time to conduct a thorough inspection before you buy any property. You don’t want to be caught off guard by problems that turn a home from a cash cow to a money pit.

Distressed properties present a particular challenge because you often can’t go the traditional inspection route.

The most savvy distressed property investors rely on a sharp eye and insider expertise to find out which properties are worth their time and money.

The August 2010 edition of Foreclosure.com’s free educational newsletter, “Investment Exchange,” is now available, which gives you (whether you’re an investor or buyer) that insider expertise so you can make smart purchase decisions that lead to sound, money-making property investments.

To lean everything you need to know about “Inspecting the property” click here.

You’ll get home inspection tips that gurus like Foreclosure.com CEO Brad Geisen has taken to the bank time and again … and much more.

In every hour of each day, savvy real estate investors are accumulating vast fortunes buying foreclosed homes at bank foreclosures, pre-foreclosures, and foreclosure auctions. Recent research indicates that more than 1 percent of ALL residential property in the United States today is already in; or facing foreclosure soon.. In April 2006 RealtyTracTM , the leading online marketplace for foreclosure properties, released its 2006 Q1 U.S. Foreclosure Market Report, which showed that 323,102 properties nationwide entered some stage of foreclosure in the first quarter of 2006, a 38 percent increase from the previous quarter and a 72 percent year-over-year increase from the first quarter of 2005. The nation s quarterly foreclosure rate of one new foreclosure for every 358 U.S. households was higher than in any quarter of last year. There is an estimated 1 million plus homes being foreclosed on. Armed with the right knowledge and tactics, opportunities for buying low-cost real estate foreclosures are plentiful. There are a lot of things you need to know before you get started. You need to understand how the foreclosure process works, what the borrower is going through, and the lenders role. You will be taught everything you need to know to locate and purchase real estate bargains from banks, public auctions, and other sources. Whether you are a first-time homeowner or an experienced property investor, this is a tremendous guide for buying pre-foreclosed homes in any market. You will learn the simple formula (developed from real-life experience) that can build massive wealth through real estate foreclosures. You will learn how to: negotiate with homeowners in distress, prepare contracts and paperwork, determine the true market value of the property, creative techniques to finance properties, learn how to flip the property, locate one-of-a-kind properties, negotiate with sellers, research, auctions, estimate repair costs, eliminate, obtain REO, use online resources, look up owners contact information, communicate with property owners, write ads, how to receive pre-foreclosure information, options, and more. This brand new book is the resource for novices and pros alike; it will guide you through every step of the process including finding properties, negotiating, and closing on your first deal. This new exhaustively researched book will arm you with hundreds of innovative ideas that you can put to use right away. This book gives you the proven strategies, innovative ideas, and case studies from experts to help you get more with less time and effort.
Customer Review: Good starter guide
In digging into this book, the author continually quoted other books. That annoyed me quite a bit and kept me asking, "Why didn't I buy the other book?" If you're starting off at "ground zero" and know nothing about mortgages, etc. this book is a helpful guide. It also contains concise explanations of different types of "legalese" and gives you places to look. Overall, a good place to start.
Customer Review: You can make money in a tricky real estate market.
If you hesitated about getting into real estate investing during the real estate housing boom, the new boom - the one in foreclosures - may be your chance to build wealth by buying forclosed real estate.

This book is not for everyone. As a licensed real estate agent for eight years, I have seen people try to get rich quick using various schemes they have heard about on television or read about in books - with little success. This method is no fly-by-night strategy and not everyone who would be able to invest successfully. Investors need - at the very least - good credit, some ready cash and a willingness to work hard and stick to the plan.

Those who are able to take advantage of the foreclosure niche in the current buyer's market can create for themselves a life making income as a real estate investor.

The authors wrote this book for the brand-new investor, including not only basic information on how to choose and invest in foreclosures, but current information on where and how to find and choose foreclosure properties, current real- estate and foreclosure laws from state-to-state and detailed information on what to expect during every step of the process. The are even chapters on how to rent your new property, if you choose to do so.

While this book is primarily for investors, buyers looking for a home of their own will find this book filled with useful information. Foreclosed homes can be found at bargain prices and home buyers can use these same procedures to find the home of their dreams. Too many buyers, frightened by the headlines, are not taking advantage of a once-in-a-lifetime buyer's market to buy their own home.

Investors will also find the real estate dictionary and extensive list of references extremely helpful if they plan (and they should) to continue to learn about investing as the foreclosure market changes.

The authors do not pretend that making money by buying and selling or renting-out foreclosures is easy and they caution that in real estate investing, money can be made, or it can be lost. That attitude is what makes this book superior to most. If your plan is to buy foreclosed homes with no money down, no assets and no risk, then look somewhere else - an good luck to you. But, if you are looking for a levelheaded approach to real estate investing in the current market, this approach is a winner.
