"Zombie" foreclosures are rising across America, with over 7,300 abandoned properties sitting vacant during the foreclosure process—and they could be goldmines for savvy investors. Host Matt Myre breaks down the latest ATTOM data showing where these distressed properties are clustering, why homeowners and lenders are walking away, and how investors can turn these "zombies" into profitable opportunities. From Wichita's 12.1% zombie rate to the 52% spike in North Carolina, we map out the hottest distressed markets and reveal the six key strategies for successfully investing in abandoned foreclosures.
