No one talks about it normally, because inflation is "normally" some low single digit number.No one advertises it because e-trade and vanguard and all the rest can't take a cut of your action if you invest in I Bonds.

You can get a performing note that will give you good cash flow and double digit returns

Just read the newspaper and check the market stats once per quarter.

I work in a lot of digital spaces with web and marketing projects.

If they publish in a legal paper or some online database, you can access the information digitally (legal papers have also online subscriptions,) and sort the data by zip code, foreclosure date, etc.Once you have the information, call the owner, followed by an email and last a letter.

The market I invest in is down noticeably (& I own a condo that is down substantially in my market due to nearly a decade of overbuilding) and I’m still well into double digits.

Digital advertising in particular, but all billboard advertising is actually it a high right now as far as density and quantity.

so @Jason Thompson , rather than speculating , let me know your zip code and house configuration that you are looking for and lets debug and analyze together, every market is hyper local and can not be generalized, I've shown how in my zip code the price is actually flat and never drop unlike what they said in newspaper haha LOL the problem with housing is actual sold price is not like stock price where everyone is seeing the same chart, this is actually I think the benefit of real estate investing whre sometimes people oversell or overbid their houses due to inaccuracies or lousy realtor.I made >100k in 2021 alone for 4 months studying the price discrepancy lol

@Abbie Gibson I don't know of such a site for RI but in my experience foreclosure data aggregators tend to be somewhat out of date.If you want the "latest and greatest" (freshest) data about upcoming foreclosures, you'll want to check out the legals section of the Providence Journal and town newspapers, as well as individual auctioneer websites for upcoming auctions.Many auctions are cancelled at the last minute so you may want to check the auctioneer website to see if the auction is cancelled.

Some are perfectly sophisticated buyers who simply have lower expectations than the double-digit annual returns that Brad's students want.
