As I work on developing those, I was looking for properties through the newspaper (let me know if that's one way to find deals).

Craigslist, zillow, newspapers and call all of the property managers in the area.

.), houses you can see daylight thru, overstuffed mailboxes, newspapers, etc. collecting in the driveway or on the stoop, ...

I also use local ads (news papers, Craigslist, etc) to gather info for prices.

The websites and newspapers have nothing.

Account Closed  unfortunately I have done many many of these.they vary by state .. if its a trustee sale they can be as inexpensive as 1500  in a state like MS TX GAIn CA I would count on 2500 to 3000.. have not done one there in years.. but publication in the newspaper is one of the big expenses.There are trustee service companies that specialize in this.. as stated call one and get a quote.Northwest trustee services in SEattle is one I have used they are very big.

Your local adjudicated newspaper, The Recorder (Vacaville) may have already published "Notice of Petition to Administer Estate" in their legal notices.

Then look at the classified ads in the major newspaper.

Call every "I BUY HOUSES" ad you see in the phonebook, newspaper, cheap classifieds, bandit sign, or anywhere else. 3.

Here they are published in the newspaper.
