In a down real estate market, finding foreclosed homes is easy. To make your search easier, here is the list of the places where you can find foreclosures.

Auctions
Auction companies hold a large inventory of properties, sometimes selling as much as 100 homes or more in just 1 day. Since the bidding is relatively quick and houses can be sold in a matter of seconds, prices of real estate can go over the board but you can find really good properties in their inventory.
Some Large Bank Websites
In the old days the “man behind the desk” decided to give you a loan or not. Your handshake was the contract and your honor was the collateral. Now however the “man” has a name…the name is FICO SCORE.
Although there are several credit models, the most commonly used is FICO, based on a model created by Fair, Isaac Company. Their consumer website is myfico.com, and you can find information about the FICO credit scores there.
