How to buy foreclosures

[Josh Brosius]

I am looking for my first house and have an interest in building a multifamily portfolio. As I'm looking on Zillow for an idea on prices of local houses, I see a lot of foreclosure homes that I like and have listed on Zillow for over a year. I heard you get foreclosure homes at a bargain price sometimes. If so how does one go about getting to buy these homes. I live in. New York and know there is a process to getting a foreclosure home. I'd like to weigh all the options for buying a home and find what ones best. Any help describing foreclosure and how to get one would be greatly appreciated!
