In the past few years foreclosures have become a hot issue within the real estate market and so are definitely an enterprise opportunity worth considering. Even with the growing quantities of foreclosures that you can buy, there are really only two locations where an enterprise opportunity exists. One is assisting people who find themselves in severe financial difficulty because of the mortgage being worth a lot more than the particular value of their house. This type of market is referred to as "Short Sale Market" and it is hard to get into especially if you lack previous mortgage or real estate experience. The other is assisting individuals who should save their properties from foreclosure and turn into. This is called Loss Mitigation and is a great entry business level opportunity. One of my earliest cases like a detective agency involved a series of auto repair shops where managers at some shops were suspected of pocketing cash payments from customers. The owner also suspected that some employees were sneaking into a number of the shops shortly before bedtime after the business was closed and were using company facilities, tools, and diagnostic equipment, to function on friend?s cars.
