Lots of deals are trading with future rents priced in.

And, for some time, it looked like it made sense.... if one did ZERO research and had NO clue about investing in the market and trading ie NOT an investor and NO place trading. 

For anyone who is willing to do the research and put in the time, foreclosure auctions is definitely the place to find "home run" deals...My only point was that REOs can still be great deals too...at least where I live and in my experience...and because they are much easier to purchase, they're a good option for people who don't want to invest the time/energy into courthouse auctions.I have absolutely no problem finding great deals just buying REOs (in my area), but the guys around here who are good at buying on the courthouse steps probably make twice as much profit on each purchase they make than I do with REOs.The trade-off is time, energy and risk, but the profit potential is certainly larger for auction purchases...
