Realty Check: Playing Foreclosures
Home foreclosures are up 12% from a year ago, and some investors are reaping the rewards of these foreclosures. Diana Olick, CNBC real estate reporter, has the story.

In terms of total forecosures, Texas ranks among the top. And we're no talking about bungalows or small houses. Many of the properties at an auction Diana Olick attended in Dallas, Texas cost between $150,000 and $400,000. And as Olick reports, for every broken dream there is a golden opportunity.
