I know it sounds self-serving, but find a real estate agent that will provide you with accurate infomation. Don't rely on ReatyTrac or any other website because the information is not complete.
A real estate agent can provide you with 'up to the minute' information every time a foreclosed property comes on the market.
But beware! You must be preapproved by a lender and prepared to submit an offer quickly. In most cases, these homes receive multiple offers and only the best offers are submitted for consideration.
You can find foreclosed properties on my website, but truthfully, if you are serious about buying a bank-owned property, work closely with an agent who will be watching for these properties and notify you immediately.
Good luck! - Sat Jul 11 2009, 12:55
