Foreclosures can look like a "diamond" deal when you are looking at the *sale* price tag. It has been compared to buying a gift all wrapped up without looking inside the box at the contents, and paying thousands for it. Millions of people have lost their homes, due to mortgage loans, decreasing home values, and higher taxes that have put them in vulnerable situations of accepting deals they otherwise would have never entertained.
