Description

Zombie foreclosures, or abandoned homes stuck in the foreclosure process, are making a comeback in parts of the U.S., particularly across the Rust Belt and Midwest. These properties often sit vacant due to financing pitfalls, legal disputes, bad tenants, or simple neglect, dragging down surrounding home values and neighborhoods. But while they can be eyesores, they also present potential opportunities for investors willing to do the homework—tracking ownership status, navigating title searches, and preparing for extensive rehab. In this episode, we’ll break down the latest data on zombie foreclosures, explain why they happen, highlight the markets seeing the biggest increases, and walk through the risks and rewards of bringing these properties back to life.
