The current unease in the real estate and mortgage industries seems to have spawned a whole new wave of seminars guaranteeing riches by investing in foreclosures. It is understandable. The markets are unstable. There have been increases in mortgage defaults and this trend will probably continue for some time. But most of the get-rich-quick seminars lead many to believe that all they have to do is write a few letters, make a few phone calls or show up on the court house steps and their dreams will come true.

Unfortunately, this is far from the truth.

There is good money to be made in all kinds of real estate investing including foreclosures. There always has been and always will be. The market goes up and down but it really doesn't matter too much. Investing tactics change with the times but the margins and profit potential are still there.

But you have to know what you are doing and what not to do. You need to examine every detail of every deal or reconcile yourself to losing rather than making money.

Investing in a property during the pre-foreclosure process takes some of the inherent risk out of the business. There are still pit-falls but you have more time to examine the deal and avoid them.

I have gained access to a great little report "Foreclosure Investing Basics - How to Rehab a House and Avoid 8 Critical Mistakes" that goes a long way toward helping you make rather than lose money in this market. Feel free to download the report by right clicking the link and "Saving As".

The report is written by Chris Thomas, the author of Dominate PreForeclosures. If you would like to explore the pre-foreclosure market a little closer, and I would encourage you to do so, and can heartily recommend his ebook Dominate PreForeclosures. He reveals the techniques he actually used and still uses, unlike some seminar gurus.
