Considering buying a foreclosure, anyone done this?
We were approved w/a VA Loan of 200,000. I was looking at foreclosures and their are some really nice 4bdrm 2+baths for 140,000-180,000 which I like the mortgage a whole hell of a lot better. I’ve been doing my research and everyone that bought a foreclosure was priced at 17-20,000. They fixed them up and resold them. We want it to be are home. My question is they cant all be crap? Some are only 2years old. We have full intentions on getting a home inspection, and are aware that foreclosures can take forever. Has anybody bought a foreclosure and used it as their primary home? What was your experience like? We are first time homebuyers and Im just looking for more bang for my buck. Plus if i’m locked in for 30years Id much rather pay 800 dollars a month over 1300. Who knows what life will bring us!
SN: We decided to buy when we were declined for a rental house do to our 6in Bearded dragon [a lizard] that never leaves his cage the rent was 1400$ . A similar house our mortgage would be $ 800. We would own it and no one could tell us what pets we can and can not have.
