Investors looking to add property to their portfolio are taking advantage of the foreclosure market. Those loosing their homes are turning into renters. First time buyers if able to do the updating or repairs needed can find the same deals. You can find properties in the Gary area from $5,000 and up if you are willing to invest $30,000 and up in repairs to make these properties in livable condition. If you have the desire and guts to become an investor the time is now.
