Buying a Foreclosed Home May Be Your Ticket To Home Ownership

It’s true. Foreclosed homes do come with a bit of baggage. You have to buy the house as-is, condition issues arise when a house is left vacant for too long, and you have to watch out for liens placed on the property. That all being said. With a little more due diligence and the willingness to take on repairs, a foreclosed house can be a great investment for your future.




Ian Jouett (NMLS #320263), President of Louvier Mortgage Group, LLC (NMLS #1013945), notes, “If you are able to calculate and assume the risks of a home foreclosure, there are excellent opportunities in the Denver area to obtain a house on a tight budget.” Here are some first steps Jouett suggests:


Tip #1: Obtain a weekly Notice of Election and Demand records for foreclosure (NED) from a title company


Tip #2: The NED will have great information about the most recent foreclosed homes:

  • Address

  • Original loan amount

  • The current principal amount that the lender foreclosed on

  • Borrower’s name

  • All important dates of the loan.


Tip #3: Search for older loan dates because, typically, there is an increase in equity and an appreciation of the home.


Tip #4: Look for a significant differentiation between the origination amount and the payout amount
