Foreclosure can be a sensitive topic. After the embarrassment of falling behind on payments, there’s the fear of losing your home and having no place to live. Rather than preying on someone who feels helpless, there are ways for investors to profit while also helping the distressed seller.
In this episode, we’re chatting with guest and long-time friend Laura Morby. As the daughter of a general contractorand a licensed agent by twenty-two years old, Laura was destined for a long career in real estate.

Foreclosure is an issue that resonates deeply with Laura, as her father was foreclosed on after the impact of the 2008 housing market crash. Her message to homeowners? Avoid the foreclosure auction at all costs. As for investors, don’t rush into a short sale! There are all kinds of creative financing solutions that can ingratiate you with the seller and help you reach a win-win deal.
