Let me be clear right from the beginning.

If you have cash and the discipline to stick to your numbers, foreclosure auctions remain the single best source of deeply discounted real estate I've ever found. That has been true in strong markets, weak markets, high-interest-rate environments, low-interest-rate environments, and just about every economy I've invested through.

Why?

Because foreclosure auctions don't begin with a market price. The opening bid is generally based on the remaining principal balance of the loan, plus unpaid interest, late payments, attorney fees, and other costs. In other words, the bidding starts with what the lender is owed—not necessarily what the property is worth.

That's where opportunity begins. It also happens to be where the adventure begins. People sometimes imagine foreclosure investing as buying neglected houses that need paint and carpet. Sometimes that's exactly what you get. Other times you discover that the house is the easiest part of the transaction.

In Flipping Houses in Ten Days, I tell the story of a 3,000-square-foot home in Warm Springs that looked ordinary from the street. Inside, it was anything but. The owner wasn't simply a collector. She had spent years accumulating trash until much of the house was buried beneath four to seven feet of garbage and filth. Renovating the house was one project. Simply finding the house underneath everything else was another.

Then there was the property I couldn't actually possess for six months because the former owners had learned every legal maneuver available to delay the process. At the time I thought I'd simply had bad luck. Later I discovered those tactics were actually being taught in seminars around the Atlanta area. A friend of mine bought a beautiful million-dollar home in the next county and spent more than two years fighting through similar legal delays while the former owners continued living there rent free.

Not every surprise comes from the courtroom.

A friend outbid me on a beautiful older home in Henry County, Georgia. The following month I saw him limping into another auction with his arm in a sling. The former owner had removed every light fixture from the kitchen, basement, and basement stairs, then poured motor oil down the stairway before leaving. My friend never saw it coming. He slid all the way to the bottom, leaving with a broken arm and a painful reminder to carry a flashlight into every vacant property.

I wasn't immune either.

I once bought a beautiful house in a newer neighborhood in Conyers, Georgia. When I finally got inside, I discovered the owners had wheeled in a wet saw before moving out, cut the granite countertops into pieces, and hauled every last piece away with them. I had expected to replace carpet and paint walls. Granite countertops hadn't even made my list.

Do this business long enough and you'll collect stories that sound too strange to be true. I certainly have.

So why would anyone keep buying foreclosure properties?

Because none of those stories changes the math.

The foreclosure auction consistently produced some of the best deals of my career precisely because many investors weren't willing to accept the uncertainty that came with them. They wanted predictable. Foreclosures rarely are.

Every worthwhile business has barriers to entry. In foreclosure investing, one of those barriers is simply being willing to deal with the unexpected.

Would I do it all again?

I've thought about that more than once.

My answer is still yes.

Not because it was easy.

Because it was worth it.

And I can’t leave today without mentioning the best thing I ever found at the courthouse auction - Dianna. I met the love of my life right there at the steps. She worked for a law firm conducting sales, and I was buying what she was selling.
