Foreclosure Home Listing Free Sources Revealed
Foreclosure Home Listing Free Sources Revealed
By far, the number one question I get is where do I get listing of Foreclosure Homes for Free.
Well, I've covered parts and pieces in the past, and I personally have some free foreclosure listing resources that work well and have generated more home listings than any paid source.
Having said that, there are some meritts to a paid service and if you seriously want to get into foreclosure investing business, then I suggest you take a look at some paid foreclosure listing services as well. You owe it to yourself to have all the investing tools in your arsenal.
OK, now to the free services.
First thing you need to do is familiarize yourself with my earlier post titled "How to Buy Preforeclosed Properties"
The reason I mention this is to help you realize that most of your success will come from homes that are not YET owned by the bank (REO)
When you find a preforclosed home, you are in a better negotiating position vs if you were dealing with the Bank's REO (Real Estate Owned department)
So what do I do to find foreclosed homes?
One of my personal favorite methods is buying property for delinquent taxes!
Yes, this is not a foreclosure investing method, but it is very profitable and the list is freely available from your county assessor's office.
My next favorite method is VA Foreclossure Home Listings. The listing is free and you can obtain it directly from here.
Next, I visit craigslist.com for listing of foreclosure home.
This is absolutely free and craigslist is probably one of those hidden gems not too many people know about.
Also be sure to check out Yahoo's new real estate listing section which is all revamped and improved.
This will keep you busy for the next 2 weeks!
But I have additional sources which I'll blog about next week.
Good luck.

Tips for Being a Successful Landlord
In today’s apartment rental market there are several things that are “must do’s” for becoming a successful landlord. The reason you’re playing the real estate rental game is to have the check in your mailbox on the first of the month, right? Here are a few tips that can help you to achieve this with as little aggravation and frustration possible.
First and foremost is finding the right tenant to rent your apartment, house or other rental. This is the most important ingredient in the recipe. Checking the prospective tenant’s credit history to make sure they are paying their bills is one of the best ways you can screen. A tenant that pays their bills on time most likely will send you their rent on time. Establish a clear system on collecting rent, handling complaints from the tenant and how you will contact them if you need to gain access to the apartment.
Secondly, get all the important terms of the tenancy in writing. You have the option to have a basic rental agreement or draw up a formal lease. Whichever you decide, the important thing is to document the terms that you and the tenant agreed to. Clarify who is paying the utilities, the rental price and any other agreements made between you and your tenant.
It’s a good idea to stay on top of the repair and maintenance needs of your property. When you are notified of something that is broken or not working, repair it as soon as possible to prevent further damages. You may also lawfully enable the tenant to withhold rent, sue for injuries caused by defective conditions or move out without notice.
On a similar topic make sure you are carrying enough property and liability insurance to cover yourself in any situation. A well designed insurance program can protect your rental property from losses caused by everything from fire and storms to burglary, vandalism, and personal injury lawsuits.
I hope that this has been helpful to you. Just remember, as long as you follow these simple tips you will be on your way to a happy and fulfilling landlord future. Best of luck!
