If you attend a “get rich in real estate” seminar today, chances are good it will cover one or more of these topics, all related to foreclosured properties:
- foreclosures and preforeclosures
- probate properties
- repo homes
- “ugly” houses
- real estate owned (REO) / bank-owned properties
THE KEY TO FINDING GREAT FORECLOSURE real estate deals is to get early, inside-track information on properties available for purchase. When you can find such properties before anyone else does, you can get the best deals available for your clients.
THE TROUBLE WITH FINDING GREAT FORECLOSURE and pre-foreclosure deals is that it can be a long and tedious process, requiring you to sift through thousands of public records at county government offices. The main alternative is to pay for lists of foreclosed properties. But this can get very expensive very fast.
WHY SPEND MONTHS PORING OVER PUBLIC RECORDS at government offices, or paying for lists, when you can find sources that will do much of the hard work for you at little or no cost? Below you’ll find 20+ sources of foreclosure and preforeclosure listings that can put you on the fast track to success.
MOST OF THESE SOURCES GIVE YOU searchable foreclosure and preforeclosure listings by state, as well as auctions, short sales, and how-to information.

FORECLOSURE TIPS
THE NUMBER OF FORECLOSURES has decreased in recent years, but is still very high, with millions of foreclosure filings yearly. Many foreclosures are bank-owned homes—residential houses that have been taken over by the bank after completing the foreclosure process. Lenders take over foreclosures to try to get back unpaid loan money.
WHEN YOU LOCATE THE BEST cheap foreclosure properties, you or your clients can grab and sell them for a profit before anyone else gets their hands on them. Many buyers rehab the properties before selling for higher profits.
VISIT THE SOURCES below and get to know their foreclosure property listings. Many allow you to sort listings by price, location, date posted, and other criteria. Focus on geographic areas you can visit easily. Make sure that you’re looking at the most up-to-date listings.
MAKE A CHECKLIST TO INSPECT THE PROPERTIES that interest you. If necessary, contact the sources for additional details.
FORECLOSURE RULES VARY from one state to another. States can choose to allow either judicial or non-judicial foreclosure actions. Judicial foreclosures usually take longer than non-judicial foreclosures.
