Foreclosures Create Opportunity In Massachusetts
I sure hate to think about anyone losing their home to foreclosure, but like so many other things in life, one person’s misfortune is another’s opportunity. This is certainly the case in Massachusetts these days as the business of foreclosure has never been better.
The Boston Herald reports that a record 23,600 foreclosures have occurred in the past year and Massachusetts newspapers have seen a 143% increase in advertising for foreclosure auctions.
Publishers are also getting in on the action with new books about investing in foreclosure properties. There is even a new one in the “Dummies” series for novice real estate investors.
There are numerous web sites offering foreclosure listings online for investors looking for foreclosure properties. Some sites, including those run by government agencies, offer foreclosure listings for free.
