I see homes listed as foreclosure in my neighborhood. I would like to purchase one of them, but I'm finding most of these listing are bogus. Is there a way to search the MLS listing for these homes by using street name and city. The foreclosure companies do not list an actual MLS#. I want to contact the realtor/bank that is trying to sell the home.

Your county normally will have public records available readily, sometimes by internet, others you have to physically go into the office and hand search. But, liens on properties are public record and so are most foreclosure actions, this will tell you who owns the property, then you can do a google search for that company name and contact their REO department

Go to your local court house and foreclosures are usually posted on a board. If not ask the clerk where property is registered for a list of properties.
Just wait a few more months (6) and there will be hundreds of more in your town or city to chose from.
Also call the banks they will have many properties available. The housing market in Amrecia has crashed.
If you were smart you would get out of America now! The entire country is bankrupt and your dollar is going to be worthless withend the next 1-2 years.

Foreclosures take a long time to finalize, the house may be posted as a foreclosure but the process might not be totally done. So you can't really buy these houses any ways unless the owners give up and stop trying to keep their house. And second of all why would you want to buy a foreclosed house..that is just like buying a car from somebody who died in it.. you dont want to buy something that has ruined somebody elses life...you'll probablly get like bad luck or something . lets take an example scenario which might have happend, a guy gets in a car accident and has no insurance, he can't work so he cant pay for his house and the bank forecloses it ... that guy is going to end up homeless and some random people take his house when he might of owed very litte on it....YOU ARE GOING TO BE MAKING PROFITS OUT OF A FAMILYS MISFORTUNE!
ALSO...THE PEOPLE WHO BUY HOMES IN MY CITY USUALLY END UP SELLING OR GOING BANKRUPT BECAUSE THINGS HAVE GOTTEN SO BAD HERE THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO HAVE KEPT THEIR HOUSES ARE THE ONLY SMART ONES..THE ONES WHO BOUGHT THEIR HOUSES 20+ YEARS PRIOR..

Find a Realtor. It's easy for Realtors to search for foreclosure homes. Sometimes they're deals, sometimes they're not. The Realtor can take you to any and all that are out there and let you see for yourself if it's a deal or not. Plus, you're not paying the Realtor, the seller is.
Best of luck!

Try and find your own realtor that specializes in forclosure. Just contact a reputible office in your neighborhood and ask if there is anyone there that does this.
