Where to find foreclosures

I live in Appomattox, VA. (about 30 mins from Lynchburg) I am struggling to know how to get started in finding foreclosure deals. Do you have any suggestions on who to talk to or make connections with? Any good websites worth investing in to find deals? This market is like we've never seen it so maybe there just isn't going to be foreclosures much available anytime soon. Open to any insight... thank you! For now, I am just looking on MLS.

Your question has been answered a few times, it's a public records search in Appomattox County. I don't see an obvious place on their website to get the notice of sale document so you may need to go to the court to access the information. I've been buying foreclosures in Arizona, Wisconsin and Illinois since 2003 so a few tips: 1. The more difficult the information is to get the better it is for you. Embrace the inefficiency! If it's difficult to find the foreclosure that means less competition. 2. Don't trust 3rd party services to gather this info. Get it yourself and check regularly with the attorney that is handling the auction to make sure the sale is still scheduled. No reason to waste time going to look at houses that aren't in foreclosure anymore because the homeowner paid off the loan or brought it current.
