Can you buy homes below market? While a typical buyer may look at five to 10 homes before making an offer, an investor who makes bargain buys usually goes through many more. Most experts agree it takes a lot of determination to find a real "bargain." There are a number of ways to buy a bargain property: *Buy a fixer-upper in a transitional neighborhood, improve it and keep it or resell at a higher price. * Buy a foreclosure property (after doing your research carefully). * Buy a house due to be torn down and move it to a new lot. * Buy a partial interest in a piece of real estate, such as part of a tenants-in-common partnership. * Buy a leftover house in a new-home development.
