Buying a foreclosed property can be a complicated, but ultimately rewarding process in terms of getting more home for your purchasing power, stabilizing neighborhoods, and revitalizing communities. Learn the ins and outs of being an informed buyer as well as protecting your rights before you buy.
After you have found a property you are interested in, there are many other things to check up on:

• Determine if there are outstanding permits or code violations  on the property.
• Search for outstanding liens recorded against the property.
• Check to see if the property taxes are in paid status.
• Estimate the property taxes you would pay if you should purchase the property.
• Check with the Value Adjustment Board (VAB) to see if there are any pending VAB petitions filed for the property.
• If the purchase history for the property indicates possible mortgage fraud, report the matter to the Mortgage Fraud Task Force.
• Will the property you are purchasing be your principal residence or an investment property? The type of loan you can qualify for will be determined by its intended use.
• Research the federal tax implications of foreclosure and how affects you and the purchase of your property.
