Upcoming Foreclosures

Does anyone know how to get a free foreclosure list?

Not the free trial and the hud ones

1. ask your bank for a list
2. Most any real estate agent will provide one for you but you may have to indicate an interest to work with them. Careful though. For the most part it's pretty much untrue that you get a better deal on a foreclosure because the bank wants it's fair value on the home and unlike an individual, can wait for the right price. For the most part, the days of finance companies dumping properties on the market are over. Cheers :)
3. Hi there, You would probably do better financially if you personally canvassed property owners in your area..... Look for absentee owners - make them an offer to take the property (aka their headache) off their hands. There is a lot of knowledge needed here. Good Luck!
4. I assume you mean a list of foreclosed properties that will be sold at sheriff's sale. Check the website for the sheriff's office for the county where you are interested in buying properties. There you will find information on where and when they advertise the properties that will be sold at the sheriff's sale.
5. Here's the government HUD site: http://www.hud.gov/homes/index.cfm Just pick your state and search. You'll still have to use a licensed agent to make the offer, but you can search without having to sign up for a "free trial" and give all your personal information to some unknown entity on the web. Good luck! :o)
6. In order to proceed with a foreclosure, a lender has to provide a public notice - usually in the newspaper classifieds under the "legal notices" section. A consolidated list of pending foreclosures can also often be found with the trustee's office, or with the sheriff's office (depending on which office handles foreclosures in your particular state). The information is also usually freely available on the websites of the public official who handles the foreclosures. You can also attend a foreclosure sale (again, find one in the newspaper) and ask the person conducting it where to find a comprehensive list of foreclosures for the county you're in. Just beware - Finding the foreclosures is the easy part. The hard part is doing the title work. Many new investors get burned buying what the "think" is the first and only mortgage on the property. Make sure you know what you're buying by asking a title company to do an "O&E" (ownership and encumbrance) report for you. They'll usually do it for free if they think you'll later do business with them.
7. Not sure where you are located, but my county reocorders office a list of free foreclosures. You might want to check there. -angela http://www.ratraceclub.com
