Green Home vs. Foreclosure

1.      Most buyers don't realize there are a variety of risks associated with buying a foreclosure. Perhaps the biggest concern for any potential buyer should be the fact that properties in foreclosure are sold "as is." Houses in poor condition might fetch bargain prices, but repairs can boost the cost again.

Many owners of homes that go into foreclosure have been struggling financially for almost a year before they give up, which usually means that the house has not received needed repairs or general maintenance for a while. Also, many foreclosure houses were used as rental properties. Usually, in that case, tenants do not take a good care of the house and are rotating every year. Repairs may include everything from missing light bulbs to roof leaks. Tree limbs in front yards, broken or missing appliances and windows, electrical or plumbing repairs, stained or worn- out  carpets, dirty floors and walls or even vandalism by angry homeowners are found in even very-affluent area foreclosures.

It has been closely linked to the death of babies from respiratory bleeding, and as a contributing factor to illnesses such as asthma and bronchitis.
