Looking to buy cheap? Consider a foreclosure … carefully – If home owners fail to pay their mortgage and can’t pay off outstanding debt, or arrange with the bank to sell the property at a loss, the home goes into mortgage foreclosure. The process from unpaid mortgage to auction can take more than a year, during which owners often don’t maintain the property. If a home doesn’t sell at auction, the lender, usually a bank, assumes the property and puts it on the market.

I Racked Up $10K Of Debt Traveling The World–Here’s What I Learned While Paying It Off – Credit card debt was a vicious cycle.

I had to make changes, fast.
