Find Foreclosed Homes

Question: How do I find foreclosed homes in my city without paying for them?

I am always hearing about all of these foreclosed homes, and how you can buy one at a fraction of the price of a normal home. However, I am clueless on how to obtain a list of foreclosed homes. I am in the beginning stages of house hunting, and would like to know where to start. Thanks

Answer: You will have to go the various government websites like HUD and FHA and search their listings. This is the source of a lot of the foreclosed homes listings that you pay for.

Alternative: find a realtor who is authorized to handle HUD/FHA foreclosure properties, and have them show you the ones in your area.

Question: Process to remove personal property from land obtained at a foreclosure auction?

I recently obtained some land at a foreclosure auction. There is personal property on the land such as two old cars, boat, etc. What is the legal process required to remove the personal property?

Answer: We bought a piece of property in 2006, the previous owner abandoned a 66 Jag, 71 Mercedes, a 72 Porsche and a kit car - we were unable to contact him after many attempts with certified letters asking him to remove the items. It was in our contract that they were supposed to be removed at the close of escrow but it wasn't done. My husband was fed up so was I, I had an estimate of having them towed away at $250 per vehicle, so my huband listed them on ebay and we sold them all for $15,000 to a guy in Florida.. He was aware of the situation, that we didn't have the titles and he bought them regardless..
