Ok, we all know that foreclosure bargains are out there, but how do you find them? I've researched a few of the top websites to find foreclosure bargains. The first website I checked out was www.Realtytrac.com. They offer a free 7 day trial period which you have to sign up for to even find out the price. I couldn't find the price of their service anywhere on the website. I'm not going to give out my information just to find out what the price is per month. Forget about this one.

Next I went to www.hudforeclosed.com. This foreclosure website also has a 1 week trial offer for $1 or you can purchase a 6 month membership for $99 or a 1 yr membership for $179. You must provide credit card information to sign up. If you don't cancel after the 1st week, the $1trial membership will be billed for $39.80 per month directly to your credit card. At least I could find the prices on this one and they give you the full information unlike Realtytrac.

After looking at just a couple of sites, I think that you are better off searching the MLS and contacting a real estate agent in the area that you are interested in purchasing a home. The foreclosed homes will be listed on the MLS. It doesn't cost you anything to have the real estate agent look up properties for you, so why not let them do the footwork for you.

Have a Great Day,
