Well i wanted to buy a house, and while looking at the foreclosure listings, there came a house that was labeled as bankruptcy. I really liked it and was wondering what does it exactly mean. Also is it a good buy?? I dont understand. The house didnt say a price.

Bankruptcy - A debtor that, upon voluntary petition or one invoked by the debtor's creditors, is judged legally insolvent. The debtor's remaining property is then administered for the creditors or is distributed among them. So, in other words, due to circumstances that are usually unavoidable, the owner can no longer pay for the home and lets it go back to the bank.
