Foreclosure Help

I was on yahoo real estate recently, and I clicked on foreclosure and I arranged the prices of the homes from the cheapest to the most expensive. I found some homes in my area with a price of about three thousand. Now is that a buy in price to take over the mortgage or what? How does that whole thing work? What are the dangers?
