Because a lot of people have been down in their luck the past few years, many have not been able to keep up with payments on their houses. Some have even had to let go of offices or buildings. Because of this, a lot of properties have been foreclosed and are being sold at very cheap prices. Here's just a few ways you can make money from property foreclosures.   1. Look for the best bargains in other areas, not only your own. There might be a lot of cheap foreclosed properties in prime, expensive areas.   2. Repair and maintain the houses you bought to attract buyers. Repairs also increase the value of the house. You might even be able to sell the house at its proper market value or even more.   3. Don't spend too much on repairs, though. You don't want to spend more than the amount you had to give to buy the foreclosed property.   4. You can also rent out or lease the apartment or house you bought instead of selling it outright.   5. If you want to buy foreclosed property, choose those that only require little or minimal repair or upkeep.   There are a lot of foreclosed houses and buildings being sold in different areas. Make money off these properties with a little common sense, patience and a lot of guts. You might even be able to earn double what you spent on foreclosed properties.
