How to find contact information and foreclosure status of homes walked away from and currently vacant?
Question:
Answer:
If it is in foreclosure contact the lender. If is still in the process of being foreclosed, go to the owner being foreclosed, they may be willing to bargain to avoid foreclosure on their credit record (assuming they have any equity in the property to bargain).
If it is foreclosed, then the lender is the place to start. Some lenders have contracts with a broker to market foreclosed homes (most likely a local bank will do this). Others, will hold auctions (most likely large national organizations).
If the lender is a smaller local lender you have a much better chance of working a deal! They are bankers, not property owners and don't want the expense of maintaining the place so they want it off the books.
You can google that search, there are a ton of search engines for that criteria. I have a few programs that I use right now. Are you an investor?
