Mich, if you're looking for a bank owned property, then definitely listen to the agents on this page that can show you lists of REOs and bank owned properties.

If you're looking for pre-foreclosures, however, where you can work out a deal before it's sold at auction or taken back by the bank, then you'll want to go a different route since the property is still owned by the homeowner and it's not yet on the market.

In that case, check out a site like http://www.ForeclosuresMass.com which lists all properties starting the foreclosure process in Massachusetts BEFORE they end up at auction or back in the hands of the bank.

Contact a local Realtor. All foreclosures are listed in MLS with ALL requirements to submit offers.

At this time there is alot to choose from if your looking specifically for a foreclosure home in these areas. We have quite a few listings in the areas you are seeking as we specialize in bank owned foreclosure and 99% of the listings we have are foreclosures. All of them are also posted in Trulia as we do post our listings here as well. Our main website is below if you decide you want to look us up, feel free to contact us if you'd like to view any of our listings. (they are bank owned REO/Foreclosures)

There are many foreclosures and short sales listed with realtors. Contact your realtor or go to my web stie http://masshouses.net/ if you are looking in Southeastern MA and ask that all listings that are bank owned or short sales be emailed to you.

Hi Mich,

Trulia has foreclosure information. The link below shows nine foreclosure listings in the Fall River area.

Hi Mich,

In Mass, there are some cash auctions, but much of the foreclosures are being listed with real estate agents and posted in the MLS. In this case, there will be a lockbox on the door that your buyer agent can access, and you will be allowed to preview it. These properties will be vacant and you will find that most properties will not have electricity and the plumbing has been “winterized”. You will be allowed to conduct a home inspection, but prior to making your offer (in most cases), as the lender holding the deed “frowns upon” offers pending an inspection. If you wish to include the electrical & plumbing in your inspection, you will also bear the cost of turning them back on and off (most likely). Regarding the financing: as long as your fico scores and income/debt meet the lending guidelines, you should qualify for a mortgage. You may even qualify for a 100% financing, as some of my clients have and still are doing this. I hope this helps. The Realtor you choose to help you will be able to take you through the whole process.
