Foreclosure Radar

[Kristi L.]

I went to the "Foreclosure Radar" website to check it out. There was also "Property Radar" but it looks as if it's for California or Nevada, Oregon,Washington, and Arizona. I live in Nebraska. Now what ?

Hi Kristi,

I use a service called
http://www.foreclosures.com/

I did a quick check to make sure they have stuff in your area. They show pre-foreclosures and auctions that are recent, published as of 7/30/13. Not sure if this is what your looking for. They do have a 7 day trial, but make sure you cancel if you don't like it. It's about $50 a month subscription service. I use them to set parameters for specific property types like 20% equity in a particular area and as properties are updated it sends me an email if it meets my criteria with the address and some details about the property. I cross reference this information with my local Recorders Office, which is online, to check the history of the persons and the property, very similar to doing a title search. This lets me know if I am willing to spend anymore time on the particular property. It comes down to numbers. Once you've been looking at properties for a while, you'll get so you can weed out the ones your don't want to spend time on very quickly.
