How do I find foreclosed homes without purchasing memberships on various websites?

Is there a free way to find listings of foreclosed homes?
Yes there is. First look at your local newspaper for the PROPERTY that is going to be sold at the court house steps. Most of these are foreclosures, but this information is usually put out too late for you to inspect and research. Find the big law firms that are handling most of sales. Those firms usually have websites that contain their foreclosure listings. This will give you a big advantage over everyone else. MAKE SURE THAT BEFORE YOU BUY ANY PROPERTY, YOU GET A TITLE SEARCH!!!!

I think this is the #1 most common question in this forum.
The foreclosure web sites are a scam. Foreclosures owned by banks are listed by Realtors so they are all in your local MLS. (mixed in with every other home). Most Realtors have a website that lets you search the entire MLS database (not just their listings) and this is free.
You will be making a huge mistake if you look at only foreclosures. Look at all the homes that meet your criteria then decide for your self which is the best house for your money- it may be a foreclosure or it may not.
