Touring Foreclosed Properties

Listening to the radio, I heard an ad for foreclosure listings. The ad promised to give you a list of great properties in your area that you could purchase at bargain prices. In other ads, I've heard them even give you examples of very low mortgage payments for houses that sound like palaces.
If you are thinking about buying a foreclosed home, these lists are one way to look for a property, but they may not be the best way.

If you want to learn about a number of foreclosed homes, consider taking a bus tour. That's right, a bus tour. If you haven't heard already, realtors are teaming up to give tours of foreclosed properties to prospective buyers. When you take one of these tours, you are not left to decipher a list of properties; instead you are actually seeing the properties themselves. And you have the added advantage to being shown around by real estate experts who can answer your questions and provide some guidance about buying a foreclosed property.

If that isn't enough, you also have the advantage of having someone else do the driving.
