Can anyone tell me where I can get Foreclosure lists? I heard you can just go to the bank and ask for them, but can just anyone go in and pick them up? Also are there any good websites that post foreclosures? I Live on LI and it seems like prices are so high that foreclosures are your only chance to make a profit. I was also thinking about buying in Pennsylvania and fixing up and rentint out near ski resorts?
Any information on the above topics would be greatly Appreciated!!
I would also contact any local lender and ask about REO properties they have or for a recommendation of potential lenders that have properties they need to unload.
hey bill, I too live in long island and am very interested in house flipping. I am 22 years old and been in the carpentry business for 4 years now. I am very motivated and responsible. I read up and researched alot on flipping and in march am taking a few real-estate seminars at boces. I was wondering if you have invested yet and if not or if did,if you wanted to meet up maybe and go over things and see if their is investment to do. Thanks for your time and consideration. Tim
Just a note, the MLS lists that REALTORS typically provide are not nearly as accurate nor do they include any prospect (pre-foreclosure properties) as many of the web services tracking foreclosures. Through personal experience, having access as a California agent to MLS data is extremely valuable but sites like www.foreclosureradar.com can provides even more information and listings.
Ohh Yeah, and I am in no way affiliated with www.foreclosureradar.com. I just find the site extremely useful.

If you were in california I’d recommend www.foreclosureradar.com
Outside california, I only know of the national sites:
www.propertyshark.com
www.realtytrac.com
www.foreclosure.com
I would also contact any local lender and ask about REO properties they have or for a recommendation of potential lenders that have properties they need to unload.
