Just when many thought foreclosure cases in the U.S. were dying down, another wave is about to hit. While the number of properties in foreclosure is lower than it was a year ago, the number of homes “under water” is still higher than some housing experts predicted.

The distressed properties are showing up in numbers larger than expected in cities that, up until this point, hadn’t been hit as hard as others, according to this NuWire Investor report citing Realty Trac.

While this doesn’t bode well for homeowners’ credit scores, it does provide a potentially profitable opportunity for investors. Many of these properties can be snatched up for a steal. And with the power of a self-directed IRA behind the investment, the returns that go back into the retirement fund are tax-free.
