My Top 5 Tips For Getting Started With Foreclosed Properties

Here are my top 5 no-nonsense tips for you if you’re thinking of investing in foreclosed properties. I was asked for these tips at the end of the show “Business Partner On Air” at DZRJ 810 AM, and here’s a video of my answers…

This was like an impromptu recording after a live guesting at DZRJ last August 10, 2018.

By the way, I was hoping I can share the whole interview but they are still searching for a recording, I’ll update this if they find one.

In the meantime, I hope you will learn something from the video above.

My top 5 tips in summary

  1. (00:21) You need to decide where you want to invest, so you can focus and understand that location’s market
  2. (00:49) Find out what problem(s) a property has, so you can decide if you can solve it or not
  3. (01:42 ) Always compare with other property sources, like pre-selling, for sale by owner, brand new, etc., to see which of these are really the best option
  4.  (02:22) Check if your exit strategy is do-able, depending on what is allowed by the bank, the village/subdivision/condo, etc.
  5. (02:54) Budget and requirements – Check if you can afford the downpayment, monthly amortization (for most banks, it should be at most equal to 40% of your gross monthly income), and other expenses like taxes, cost for repairs, etc. You also need to check the requirements for the purchase.
