A Guide to Buying Salt Lake City Foreclosed Properties

While foreclosures in Salt Lake City are at a record high many financial analysts are of the opinion that people who wish to buy distressed properties cheaply should do it now.

Salt Lake City foreclosed properties can be bought during various stages of foreclosure proceedings. Homes can be bought whilst in pre foreclosure, at a foreclosure auction, or through a lender.

A home owner in pre foreclosure would want to sell the home to try and avoid foreclosure and the resultant negative credit score. If you are planning on buying a pre foreclosure home, try and go through the County’s public records to check for any unpaid property taxes of secondary loans linked to the home, as once you buy the home, these liabilities could become yours.

Foreclosed homes at auctions are usually sold on an �~as-is’ basis and are ideally suited for the veteran home buyer. However, if you feel a good deal can be had, then go ahead, but not without doing some home work. A good idea is sitting through a couple of auctions before you place your first bid.

Once a home passes the auction stage, the deed is transferred to the lender. Lender’s are often in a rush to sell their foreclosed properties because they have to incur substantial recurrent costs in the properties’ maintenance. Also, lenders normally clear all arrears that are linked to a foreclosure home.

Looking for Salt Lake City foreclosed properties is not at all difficult and you can start your search on the internet. Do go through as many listings as possible before closing in on any one deal.
