Buying Foreclosed Homes
Kevin Fitzgerald, U.S. Advisors
Introduction
• An accomplished investment professional and senior
administrator, Kevin Fitzgerald serves as CEO of Global
Capital Advisors in San Francisco, California. He previously
led business operations at Overseas Investor Services and
U.S. Advisor (which operated as U.S. Advisors, LLC). Kevin
Fitzgerald is also skilled at buying foreclosed single-family
homes.
When a homeowner fails to make his or her mortgage
payments, the bank or lending institution may choose to
repossess the home. To recoup their funds, these banks
and lending institutions often want to sell foreclosed
homes quickly, typically at auction.
Buying Foreclosed Homes
• According to the real estate authority and online
marketplace Zillow, homebuyers can often save
money by purchasing a home that is in
foreclosure as long as they understand that they
must choose properties carefully and expect a
certain amount of additional paperwork.
Foreclosed properties also tend to require more
repair and renovation work, but a homebuyer
who chooses to fix-up a neglected house in a nice
neighborhood stands to make a significant return
on investment.
