Need to find foreclosure homes free on line and without using my credit card?
Question:
Answer:
If you don't know a foreclosed house from a pre-foreclosure then even if you had a free lead would you know what to do with it ?
I will amend this answer later today but feel some thought might be provoked from the brief and somewhat harsh answer above. Pre and post foreclosure investing is not for everyone and takes a huge level of learning to become proficient at.
BTW websites like realtytrac dont buy leads from some person that went to the courthouse. The company DataQuick collects data daily from recorders offices for government monitoring. Defaults, and notices of trustees sales, lis pendins in the southeastern states, are also on the reels and sold under bulk rate contract to websites. The cost makes the timely data too expensive to offer for free online. How do I know this you ask ? I used to own the marketing rights for realtytrac to the real estate course and seminar industry. My personal mentor ( also a top answerer on here wrote articles and I set up the contracts for him )
Heres the ammended answer, sorry the original response was a bit harsh but the complexities involved in real estate investing whether during the pre foreclosure stage, at the trustees sale, or post foreclosure, all require specialized knowledge. A person with such know how will already know how to locate their leads and what to do in each situation. You can get lists of pre-foreclosures free from your local title company or at the county courthouse. You can subscribe to the daily journal of commerce for your area and locate them there also. In pre-foreclosure situations having a lead and getting a suitable deal are not automatic. There is a lot of work involved and still the homeowner may refuse to speak with you and be in total denial. At a sheriffs sale or trustees sale you need funds in hand to bid and might be bidding on a home you are only guessing at inside condition on. Then you have to evict the resident and hope they dont trash the place and loot the appliances. Foreclosed homes can be a bit easier as the properties are vacant and often viewable but still you are buying as is and taking the risk of remediating existing conditions. There is a lot more to foreclosure investing than just viewing free leads.
None free online. Go down to the hall of records in your community. Do it manually. They are a matter of public record. That's what the guys who sell these lists on the internet do.
Local Lenders don't have one master site where all foreclosures are listed those are usually viewed at pay sites like Foreclosure.com or Realty Tract but those you have to become a member, your only chance is government backed loans that are foreclosed on and the government had to buy them back, then they job out the selling of them to private companies. To check the government foreclosure you will have to go through a licensee but you can locate the foreclosures here
