(AP Photo/Peter Cosgrove) Looking for cheap real estate? Hop on a foreclosure bus tour, a trend sweeping the nation in the wake of the mortgage crisis, the AP reports.

"We're kind of a seminar on a bus," says one California real-estate agent. Such junkets abound in Florida and California, states hit hardest by foreclosures, and opportunists are taking note in many other areas. "I thought it would be nice to have a look at some American houses all at once, see how the market works," said a British trucker, along on a Florida tour with his wife.
