How to finance your foreclosure purchase? How about your IRA?
A good article ran today in Lew Sichelmans Realty Q & A column in MarketWatch. Titled " Buying Investment Property Through Your IRA ," the article offers a wealth of information on how to use funds already in your IRA to invest in different types of properties. While the article doesnt discuss foreclosure properties directly, much of the information should apply to any investment property you dont plan to use as a personal residence or vacation home. If youre looking for creative ways to finance an investment in a foreclosure property, you may not need to look much further than your retirement account.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that more and more homeowners forced out of their homes by foreclosure are turning to vandalism to lash out in some tangible way in a situation where they feel powerless.

FHA Program Linked to High Colorado Foreclosure Rate
An illuminating article in the Denver Post connects the dots between Colorado’s high foreclosure rate and an FHA program gone awry: “Created to extend the dream of homeownership to first-time buyers, the so-called FHA gift program instead has led to rampant foreclosures. Nearly 6,000 FHA loans have wound up in foreclosure in Colorado in the past two years, and during that time the program allowed more than 25 percent of FHA buyers to use gifts as down payments.” The article recounts several stories of homeowners who paid just a few hundred dollars to buy their home, using a loophole

Foreclosure Bargains on the Beach
No one denies for a moment that some of this country’s most expensive real estate lies along its coastlines — Pacific and Atlantic. The list enumerated in that article is based upon an initial list created in 2006 by its business partner Neighborhood Scout. The cities/towns featured in the “10 Bargain Beach Towns” article are: • Clinton, CT • Rocky Point, NY • Somers Point, NJ • Carolina While that is true, the fact of the matter is that although it may be beachfront property, homeowners can nonetheless end up in foreclosure there as often as anywhere else.
