Where can I find repo's in my area without paying a membership for them?

Question

I am interested in flipping houses and I have been looking on the internet for repos and can only find those sites that ask for $39.00 to join. There has got to be some other way of finding them. We have an agent that is finding low cost houses but would much rather look into repos. Any help? Thanks

Answer 1

If you have the right agent, why does your agent not subscribe? If it's a part of their regular business, $39.00 is nothing.

If you have said something to them about foreclosures, and they haven't subscribed, get another agent. One that is not playing at being an agent.

Answer 2

Also check with your county government. Most forclosures are listed at the county courthouse.

For my county, the listings are on the county sherrifs website.

Just for your reference:

Good Luck! Make sure you are aware of the laws in your state and what it takes to get someone out of the building if they are still occupied when you buy the place.

Answer 3

I would check with all of your local banks and credit unions. Also HUD (Housing and Urban Delvelopment is a good source as well.
