Well, first of all, don't assume the best deals are foreclosed properties. They may be in some states/counties, but there are a lot of good deals on properties that don't have all the issues that bank-owned properties have.
Also, find a good home inspector. You need to know what you are getting yourself into.
Obviously, books can be written on this topic, but the above is my two cents. Good luck!
