The ongoing buzz in the real estate industry especially among real estate investors it he opportunity of earning lots of money from bank foreclosures.

Foreclosure, by definition, is a legal process in which a person who has made a mortgage (the mortgagor) in order to borrow money loses his or her rights to the mortgaged property.

A mortgage represents security—generally real estate—for money loaned. The mortgagor retains possession of the property, and foreclosure is effected only if the mortgagor fails to make payment of the debt at the proper time or fails to meet other obligations specified in the bond or mortgage. 

To effect a foreclosure, it is usual to apply to a court for authority to sell the property or to proceed with the sale under a power provided by the mortgage itself. In such instances the term foreclosure is loosely applied to the sale by the mortgagee (holder of the mortgage) or by a trustee on his or her behalf.

Money received from the sale is applied to all debts on the property, including payments due to the mortgagee.

The appeal to the real estate investor comes from the circumstances wherein the real estate industry is suffering from major price drop on houses. In Florida, since the great real estate industry collapse more and more people could no longer afford the value of the loan to the bank resulting to foreclosures.

What investors do is they acquire a listing of these foreclosures and make deals with the bank. The bank in its interest to release the property and recover the loan value sells the property to an investor in a negotiated price. The investor in turn sells the bank foreclosed house to the open market in a much higher price.

Many people has been engaging in this new investment fad and also more people are offering services like providing foreclosure lists online.
