I am starting a series of 10 tips to buying a foreclosure in Dallas, but these tips could apply anywhere. I will be doing both video and plain text back in forth for the post.

Tip #1 Get an Inspection on the Foreclosure - Unless you are an investor with years of experience of walking Dallas foreclosures and know exactly what to look for as far as problem areas go then you need to get a good inspector and pay the hundred dollars or so to give you peace of mind that their are no serious problems with the foreclosed property.

In you live in Dallas then you know that we have huge foundations problems, and when a foundation shifts it can also mess up the plumbing. These to problems alone can run an enormous bill that I promise you will break your budget.

That not including potential problems with the roof, electrical, and countless of things you might overlook without the help of an inspector.

So, if you are in the market to buy a Dallas Foreclosure then you need to make sure that you get it inspected by a quality inspector before you sign the papers.
