The procedure is a tedious one after a home is foreclosed by the bank. The mortgage companies take weeks if not months after foreclosure to get their paperwork done, do evictions and minor repairs and make the assignments to the real estate brokers who they have hired to sell their properties. But the time of clean up and eviction is not a concern for the savvy investor, it is an opportunity to get buyers so that these houses sell almost immediately as you get them under contract.
