The world has changed. Foreclosures are at all-time highs and the markets are in flux. We are now eight quarters into our long overdue housing correction. Everyone debates when it will end. It's no surprise.

With the volume of bad loans, over-leveraged investors and resetting interest rates all hitting at the same time - 2009 is shaping up to be our most profitable year ever for distressed property investing.

So, you just want to buy a foreclosure? You want it to be "simple and easy", and at the same time, "a great buy"? So you ask, "What's the best way to buy a foreclosure?"

I wish I could answer with "it's easy, just do this..."

But I'm sorry; I'm just not going to lie to you.
