• Where to find the best deals on foreclosures
  
  Our analysis of nationwide foreclosure property sales in the last seven months shows that while some areas of the country documented a plethora of properties in foreclosure and big savings on foreclosure purchases, other areas reported relatively low foreclosure inventories and smaller average savings on foreclosure purchases.

It’s important for buyers and investors who are interested in the foreclosures market to carefully evaluate local market conditions before diving into foreclosures in any given area.

• Not Enough Rope in Administration's Lifeline' Program
  
  Washington Mutual and Wells Fargo & Co. — The homeowners have to be more than 90 days behind on their mortgage payments, and call in once they get a letter from their lender asking them to reaffirm that they want to stay in their home.
