Hi Jason,

I can’t speak for Cumberland, as I am not licensed in RI, but there are many foreclosed homes in NA, & Attleboro area. I have worked on quite a few of those sales and personally toured even more of these homes. Attleboro & North Attleboro are good areas to focus on, as there are many listings that are on town sewer. You would want to stay away from a home being sold as-is that has a septic system, unless you are a cash investor. If you are interested in a list of these properties that include photos, tax info and addresses, please visit the link below.

We handle primarily REO/Foreclosure properties in Southeastern Mass & starting to branch out to some areas of Rhode Island. My team has grown to 5 agents now due to our rising inventory. Please feel free to contact us if you want one of our REO agents to assist you.

as for "good" foreclosures those are the ones that go the fastest. There are a slew of forelcosure properties available but I've noticed anything really good tends to fly off the market fast in my experience, so you'll want to really keep an eye out for those and once you find one, you'll want to act fast because there are quite a few people looking for the same thing. For example: we listed a foreclosed 3000 sq foot Colonial that was New Construction not too long ago. Situated on 5 Acres of Land that was on the market for only 29 days, and the reason it was on for that long was because there were multiple offers which created a bidding war so it took some time for negotiations to be finalized. Another New construction on the same street was on the market for 20 days & went for OVER asking price. So my recommendation is to keep your eye out for the needles in the haystack. Hope this helps & Best of luck.

Yes, we have a few good homes in that area ina ll price ranges. Although most of them need a lot of work, I do run across a few that need only heavy cosmetic work. Let me know if you would like to see some of them.

Are there really any "good" foreclosure properties? Just kidding, I have nothing productive to add here. But I do know of an awesome agent on the South Shore. If you would like her contact information shoot me an e-mail through my profile.
Good Luck!
