So you want to invest in real estate foreclosures, but you’re not entirely sure how to get started. You’ve done the books, home study courses and seminars, but maybe you thought afterwards that the material was too complex or overwhelming. Maybe you also thought it was all too good to be true. Then you saw and heard the news coverage about the foreclosure meltdown, and you’re wondering whether you should just put your investment dollars under a mattress.

Foreclosure Food Chain Explained

So here are the 10 links of the food chain. These links are the most effective way for foreclosure investors to make big profits from preforeclosure and post-foreclosure properties (see the Complete Guides at my site www.foreclose.com). Consider one or more of these ways depending on your personal preferences. You can be a:

1.      Birddog. If you like communicating with people and know how to find homeowners who need help.

2.      Assigner. If you feel more comfortable doing deals without actually owning the properties.

3.      Flipper. If you like doing quick flips to make fast cash within 30-60 days.

4.      Rehabber. If you enjoy doing property repairs and would like even bigger profits.

5.      Holder. If you would like to be a landlord who keeps properties as long term rentals.

6.      Lease Optioner. If you like to specialize in doing lease options where you can stretch out your profits over 3-5 years.

7.      Short Seller. If you would like to focus on doing short sales with homeowners and their lenders.

8.      Realtor. If you are interested in helping homeowners and investors sell their properties.

9.      Financial Partner. If you have cash to fund foreclosure investments and you want to split the profits with the investors.

10.  Private Lender. If you have cash to provide hard-money loans to investors who would pay you interest until the property is sold, then pay off your principal.

As you can see, these are all related ways to make big profits from the Foreclosure Food Chain.
