Where I can find some detailed info for the foreclosure properties besides from web sites that charge for $?
Answers: the "Internet foreclosure lists" are so out of date and inaccurate that a house i bought 4 years ago is still on it. My tenants must get at least 3 people a week beating on the door wanting to know when they are being evicted.
Your local newspaper is the best source for foreclosed properties. Also a local bank may have the information. If you are wanting to buy a foreclosed property they usually will share the information.
I've become friends with several mortgage brokers and bankers for this purpose. Now if something comes up I can get first crack at it.
And don't pay for it, those websites are a scam. I signed up for one years ago, found a great house for very low money. Drove by the address and it wasn't even the same house as in the picture!
Hope this helps!
Call a local realtor and have them give you listings.
House prices - this almost sums it up don't you deduce?
