RealtyTrac, which is a pay service, has partnered with Trulia (a growing real estate database/self-appraisal website) to show foreclosure listings for free. Wow!  Good deal.  The catch?  It does show a picture of the property, and the street that it’s on, but it doesn’t give you the actual property address.

Getting the address though is going to take a bit of sleuthing.  You’re easiest path is going to be calling up your local realtor, or dropping me an email (patriciacshawgo@gmail.com).  Your other options involve a couple more steps, and I will be writing another article on that.

 This is fabulous news for investors and those wanting a property that requires a bit of work.  Try searching for foreclosures yourself at www.Trulia.com.  Interested in how you would finance rehabbing an owner occupied property?  Check out my article on 203k loans and gaining equity in a slower market.
