Foreclosure Families are Victims of Circumstance

We all like a good deal. During the peak of the real estate market, almost every house seemed like a best buy because we were convinced the market was just beginning its ascent.

Unfortunately, short-sells and flips only went so far before the market started to correct itself. While many investors purchased houses for the sole intent of making profit, millions of Americans were simply starting their dream.
