Foreclosure Investing For Dummies Cheat Sheet

Foreclosure investing is complicated and risky. I’ve seen individual investors lose tens of thousands of dollars at a single auction simply because they had no idea what they were doing. You’re smart to study up on the process before putting any money on the line. This Cheat Sheet will get you up to speed in a hurry on foreclosure investing and help you steer clear of some of the major pitfalls. However, I strongly encourage you to study up on the foreclosure process in the location (state and county) where you choose to invest, and hire an attorney with foreclosure experience to cover your back, at least for your first few investment properties.
