Are you thinking of buying a new home?
Maybe you want to take advantage of the low real estate prices and interest rates to buy a rental property?
Short sales offer great deals for people willing to do some repairs or updates.
Short sales occur when the seller owes more on a mortgage than the home is currently worth, and the bank has to agree to accept a payoff that is "short" of what is owed.
Since homeowners who qualify for short sales are in danger of foreclosure, you can expect that repairs are needed and maintenance may have been neglected. You should also be prepared for the sale process to take much longer than a normal sale from a private homeonwer since the sale can only go through once the mortgage holder gives approval.
