Foreclosure $ ?
When buying one, is it true that you need to pay all cash? Or do you just need a certain % down?

There can be various loan programs for foreclosures available to you, with different %s for down payment. (Like a 203k rehab loan) You do not need to pay all cash.

Re: Foreclosure $ ?
When bidding at a sale you need give a check for a certain amount down (I think 10%) and be ready to close within 45 days. With a short sale or REO property it's like buying any ol' home.

Re: Foreclosure $ ?
it depends if the house is able to get a mortgage or not
if it can't get a regular mortgage- then you need to do a rehab loan
most aren't able to qualify for a traditional mortgage due the condition
the down payment depends on what you a personally qualified for
