With this current economic crisis, it is unfortunate that the real estate market is loaded with foreclosure properties. However this also presents an incredible opportunity for home buyers and investors. Foreclosure properties cost the banks up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. For that reason, when a home goes into foreclosure the bank wants to sell it as fast as possible. Therefore they sell these properties for up to 50% of current market value. Foreclosed properties are a steal, if you know where to look.
There are literally thousands of sites that offer foreclosure listings and many claim they are free. Many of these sites may be reputable, but you need to do your research and know how to spot a good site from a scam. There really is no such thing as a free foreclosure site. There may be free foreclosure lists out there, but they are very hard to come by. Plus those free foreclosure lists typically move extremely fast, therefore any property you become interested in will probably be sold by the time you inquire on it.
That’s not to say there is no way of obtaining a list of foreclosed properties for free. There are many paid membership sites that offer their services for free on a trial basis. Reputable companies will offer a seven day free trial. Seven days is more than enough time to research these properties. Plus most foreclosed homes move so quickly that they may not even be available after the seven days. If you don’t find any listings during your free trial you can always cancel the membership before your card is charged.
