Buying Foreclosures - Knowing Why Helps You Buy
One big potential deal-killer in buying foreclosures is the homeowner. If the homeowner does not trust you, buying their home (even at a foreclosure auction) can become a greater challenge. To prevent this setback, you need to build trust with the owner -- and building trust requires you understand where they are coming from. People don't stop paying their mortgage because they don't want to pay, but rather because of factors that afflict everyone at some point in time. Knowing why the owner is losing their home can help you connect with them and gain their trust. Three Main Reasons People Lose Their Homes Armed with this understanding, you will be much more likely to gain the trust of the homeowner when you meet them, than going into the meeting blind. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: George Roddy, Sr, owner of Foreclosure Listing Service, Inc., has provided timely, accurate, useful data regarding foreclosure real estate in Texas since 1964.
