Foreclosure was the best thing that happened to me.

Not to make light of the situation at the time, foreclosure is a very stressful experience. But it happened due to a divorce, and got me mad enough to work my back side off and purchase a foreclosure property cash the next year as my primary residence ( that property is now a great cash flowing rental and almost double in value). Thus began my flipping and buy and hold investing in 2011.I got a free education on the foreclosure process from being foreclosed on.
