A foreclosure investment is the purchase of a property where the homeowner has defaulted on a mortgage. This creates the potential opportunity for the investor to buy a property at below current market prices and sell at a profit. There are several different ways to make a foreclosure investment, depending on what stage the foreclosure process has reached. Despite the name, a foreclosure investment can be made before foreclosure, the formal point at which the mortgage lender takes control of the outstanding equity in the property, has taken place. This covers the time between the lender issuing a formal notice of non-payment and the court granting a foreclosure. Usually, the proposed foreclosure will be listed in publicly available papers. Until the foreclosure takes place, a third party can make an offer to buy the property from the owner.

The latest news for foreclosure investment seems to be on an upswing. A stable market in which to invest means good news to potential foreclosure investors. Although, the market is still at an all time low, it is in an upswing when it comes to construction, sales and prices.
