Investing In Real Estate?

I know that there are a lot of people that say that you can make a lot of money by investing in real estate but it's something that really isn't my cup of tea!

The first thing that I think about is the number of people who have lost their homes to foreclosure. While their homes have been sold to someone else that still doesn't take care of the fact that because of foreclosure these people are now homeless.

I do know that the point of real estate investing is to sell a home for more money than one paid for it. And I will admit that real estate investors do fix up properties so that they can be sold. And when a house sells it is no longer empty and it contributes to the overall well-being of the community.

But this is basically a blog about foreclosures, tips for helping avoid foreclosure and inspiring stories about people who have managed to get their homes out of foreclosure.
