Post: Does anyone use RealtyTrac

I'm thinking about signing up for one of the online foreclosure services and Realty Trac seems to get good reviews.  The $49 a month doesn't bother me if it's easy to cancel the service. Anyone use their services and have any luck buying a house off the info on their site?  Or is there a better site?

Thanks

I think it would be better to know there is a problem than having them keep resetting the breaker.  Insurance should not be a problem. Millions of homes have fuses. I think 4 of my houses do and I have never had to replace a fuse for a tenant.

Of course now that I've boasted that I have never had a call to replace a fuse I'll probably get a call today.

There is no need to rewire the house if it is 2 wire without a ground.  Also why would you replace the fused panel if it is safe?

Do not invite the local permit-inspectors into your home. Find a honest electrician through your local REIA.

I use Chris Woods Realty.

He is very responsive and does a good job for me and will be selling the property for me in the spring.

Good Luck
