I am seeing some talk about if it is wise to invest in pre-foreclosure property since the RE market is going to be glutted with these properties and probably harder to sell.

I see an upside to being a buyer if you don't mind renting out the property until the Real Estate market gains momentum. With all the foreclosures that are expected to file this year (1-3 million) there is going to be a huge need for property for these people to rent.

I believe Vegas will be a gold mine because in the past few years they converted so many apartment complexes into condo's to sell. It is now a lot harder to find a place to rent. You can only imagine what it will be like when all those people who purchased condo's get foreclosed on and try to find a place to rent. So if you are willing to rent the house and condo's out it may not be a bad investment after all.

That's a great angle to take in cities like that. Places in which no or few conversions took place and which speculators bought properties and are now trying to rent them present more of a challenge.
Good play for Vegas and other supportive environments!
