Foreclosures?

Laura asked:


I am in Wisconsin and I have been looking into buying a house. Since we don’t have a lot of money right now being colege students. My boyfriends dad has bought foreclosures before and it seems like its a good investment for the most part.

We have no idea what we are doing and would love some advice. It seems like we get different answers from everyone.

It seems like having a realtor would be best for us just so we have someone else to help us out.

This is just all so confusing for us.
