It varies from state to state.
In SC, you have to look in the paper, I'm told, but in Colorado the state issues it on a weekly basis.
Let me know if you're in CO. I have it sent to me.

You can check with your county clerk's office. Many areas will print a list of foreclosed homes or homes with tax liens at least once a year.
Most banks are a good place to start also - you can often offer them a less than what is owed on the home and they will accept simply because the longer they have it/try to sell it the more costly it is for them (insurance, realtor commissions, loss in potential interest/revenue, upkeep - though that doesn't always apply, etc.). Bank-owned properties are sometimes easier to deal with than foreclosed, owner-occupied homes.
If you are looking into this as an investment, be careful - many people get into this way over their heads. Just take it slow, have the home thoroughly inspected, and be picky about what you decide to purchase.

You may want to check with your local Police Department, or with a local bank. Both might have lists of foreclosed homes. Just an idea.

Ask your Realtor who owns them. The seller's identity is usually listed in the MLS so when your agent writes the offer, they can fill in the blank for "seller".
100% of FHA foreclosures are in the MLS
100% of VA foreclosures are in the MLS
Almost 100% of bank owned houses are in the MLS.

Foreclosures are usually listed in your local newspaper! Look in your local newspaper, check near the classified section.

I tried foreclosure.com and realtytrac.com. RT had many more listings than foreclosure.com, so I went with RT. The bad part is that they charge $40 per month.

the final thank you to get the listings for loose (of upcoming sales) are your community newspaper or paper for the section you have an pastime in. In maximum states the companies keeping the sales are required to place up the sales in a public communicate board, ie the newspaper. they are oftentimes listed below "Trustee sales" or "criminal Notices." in addition they could be accessible on line on the newspapers internet site (you may must be a subscriber to get get right of entry to). stable success!
