Every single day there are boats that are abandoned, damaged or seized, thanks to illegal activities of owners. Insurance companies usually pay the owner when the vessel has been through an accident, but after that they do not have any further use for it.  Being damaged, it is not easy to sell of course. Nearly everyone would find the prospect of buying a damaged boat somewhat leery.

You would normally find business enterprises engaged in catering and similar vocations, attend sales and sign up good deals for boats which have not undergone very serious and irreparable damages. They then recondition the boat, add some fresh paint and there you are, the boat is now saleable at a good price. In most cases, the public are invited to participate in the salvage boat sales and so can make their own purchases. You simply need to do some restoration work and you could be a winner. News about salvage boat sales is publicized through the media for public information. You would never be able to gauge how much and what type of repair work is needed unless you do prior research about models and vessels. This way, you could do the same as the restoration business and keep thousands of people as your potential clients. This type of sales is perfect for people who adore the sea and yearn for a boat, but would otherwise not be able to affort a boat.  These boats are usually far cheaper than others which leaves space for making all the restoration work to put it back in order.

Another grand idea when wanting to purchase a boat or a luxury yacht is to survey salvage boat sales. Luxury boats are often captured for carrying out illicit activities. These boats are then sold at auction to the highest bidder, which if you play your cards right, could be you. The first owner of these boats would have paid thousand of dollars for them, but now the prices are slashed, for many reasons. These boats are usually in a fine shape requiring only  minor makeovers, if at all, so this becomes a very profitable proposition.

The reliability of the agent you are dealing with when buying a boat is a critical factor. Some shady characters may try to sell you a damaged boat, after giving it a fresh appearance and claiming that it is as good as new. That is why it is better to purchase your vessel from a reputable auction house instead.

Many used RV dealers pick up a significant portion of their inventory by buying foreclosed RVs. They look for ones in good condition, clean them up a little, fix any minor problems, and then sell them for much more than they spent to make their profit. Avoid paying their mark-up and buy a great foreclosed RV yourself for much cheaper.

RV owners tend to take good care of their RVs. Often when they are facing foreclosure, it is because they experienced a change in employment or other recent event that affected their ability to make the payments on their RV. When the lender notifies them that they are in danger of having their RV foreclosed on, many try to sell it themselves. Frequently they price the RV so that if they sell it, they can pay off the rest of the loan completely. Since RV quickly depreciate and foreclosure often happen in the first year from purchase, these prices are usually too high. As time goes on, the owner may become more realistic and try to sell it for less. Sometimes you can find a good price this way, especially if the lender agrees to a “short sale” where they will accept selling the RV for less than the outstanding loan balance. Either the owner makes up the difference or the lender writes it off, happy to get back at least part of the money. However, the best deals are usually found on foreclosed RVs that have already been repossessed by the lender.

Since lending institutions are not in the business of storing and maintaining RVs, they want to get rid of the RVs quickly. They auction them off, usually with very low starting bids. Most will let you inspect the RVs beforehand so you can be sure you are bidding on a RV in good condition. This will also let you see if it has all the features and amenities you want. For some auctions, you place your bid in a sealed envelope and the highest bidder win. For others you will compete with other bidders in a live auction. It can be easy to get carried away in the excitement of bidding, so have a ceiling price for each RV you are considering to keep yourself from overbidding. If you do not get the RV you want initially, there is no need to panic or worry. Others will be available down the road.

To buy like a dealer, find the auctions, be prepared and get that great foreclosed RV at an amazingly low price.
