sorry Carol, if my remarks stung.
Perhaps I should say that if you buy a local person's home, that they lost, the bad karma could be very immediately manifested as hostility from the family. You are not doing that.
So maybe I am alone in a sea of buyers who were just investors, but I kind of doubt that all were.
It's just my personal belief I would look for a person who could still be saved from ruin to buy from rather than the bank, when it is too late for the homeowner to be helped. My personal beliefs are not always the most practical, and it's my own code.
I would just like to say again that unless you know the prior owners personally or know their story, it is an assumption to believe they were involved in a get rich quick scheme. People do use ARM's who plan to stay in the home. They may plan to refinance. I don't know these people, and they may be just as you think, but I feel uncomfortable judging them in absentia and with no personal information on their motives.
But I wish you good fortune in your new home! [

I feel bad now; this is radioguy's topic. I just felt like he was getting dumped on.
