I'm a complete newbie, and doing my research..I decided to look on the web at tax records for some of the house I found on Realtytrac.

Do A Google/Yahoo Search {(or Call Info-411 (http://www.411.com )} to locate the County or Courthouse Clerk (Recorders Office) in the area where you are interested in locating Foreclosures.

For the record, I didn't imply that this type of assignment was a regular thing.I am sure that there are folks who have make a killing on a specific deal.

thanks for the tips guys i appreciate it...just for the record i am located at the jersey shore(toms river area)..i am willing to travel up to a 50 mile radius..mike

Given the strict timelines the process is rather well organized to sift through deals.

No action has taken place so the county has no record of what does not exist.People who already have had legal action taken will be noted in the county records.

A smaller organization that does not have 24/7, 365 coverage.3.

Public records and other things are needed when there was a foreclosure, etc.

In addition, it is possible to have the bank loan you 50% to 70% of the appraised value, but you must have the right bank, great credit, and a track record of success.

This really means you have to value correctly what you want and you need to be willing to pay for it.If you want to do your own comps there are services that provide the data to the MLS organizations.
