Pre Foreclosures - where are you hiding
What's up BP!
I am curious to see if anyone has a good lead source for homes/people who are in the pre-foreclosure process. I stumbled across a website called RealtyTrac that looks like it has a list, but their membership is almost $2/day so I figured there has to be a more cost effective way to find these deals. I know that when a bank starts to file for foreclosure (at least in my state, Oklahoma) it is sent to the county for records. Is there a way to access a list of these pre-foreclosures at the county? The only way I could think of right now is from the Sheriff Sale list, but that would only give about 2-3 weeks to purchase the home before it sells at auction. If anyone has any insight into how you are finding pre-foreclosures, that would be awesome!

@Wendy Schultz I have used that before, but I am afraid of how accurate that filter actually is. Zillow is sometimes slow to update info on listing and sales compared to the MLS so I am afraid it might be the same on pre-foreclosures. Definitely a great suggestion and place start though, thank you!
