A trend that's been around for some time now is purchasing distressed Miami Beach homes (or any South Florida home) and using them as a significantly reduced new place to live or a canvas of sorts to be “flipped” and sold for a profit.  While you can do exhaustive research on the internet on the primers and tips regarding buying distressed homes, oftentimes it's best to get some hands-on or at least a face to face experience with people who know what they're doing.

Starting this Friday, you can gain some valuable knowledge on buying distressed homes by attending a foreclosure convention being held at the Sheraton Suites Cypress Creek.  Several real estate groups will be sponsoring the event and many industry professionals will also be giving their advice to attendees on the importance of buying inexpensively and holding onto those Miami Beach homes you may be keeping an eye on.

The Sheraton Suites Cypress Creek is located at 555 NW 62nd Street in Fort Lauderdale.  The foreclosure event continues throughout the weekend ending on Sunday.  You can find more information by visiting http://foreclosureconvention.com.
