Government foreclosed homes/properties

Did you know that right now the real estate market is 25% saturated with Government foreclosures? The interesting thing is that although the real estate market is not doing very well, a lot of people are snatching up these foreclosures because of the tremendous value they are gaining. A home worth $400,000 can be sold for around $10,000 right now! Of course there are different price tags on various types of properties that have been foreclosed on, but they are being sold for considerably less than they are worth! If I had enough capital I would jump right on the wagon- alas I am poor. But I want to take advantage of this incredible opportunity- what do you all think?

We jumped on the bandwagon and have been buying rental properties during this time. We are still getting the same rent as if we would have bought them for 20K more, but it is nice. Because if people cant buy then they have to rent something.
