Upcoming Foreclosures

Finding info on House foreclosures?

I'm looking in my area for a good deal on a house and with all the foreclosures going on it seems like a best bet to go that way. I found a house with a decent price on it, however it was on realtytrac.com and im not paying for membership. What I did was get the year build and size of it and then cross referenced with state tax information. I found the address of the house and deed information. After I found the deed information I had the lot and block of the house and then went to the county court records online and pulled up any foreclosure information on it. I saw a mortgage/discharge entry listed a month or so ago. Where do I go from here? I'm trying to find out about buying this house and again I don't want to pay for trial memberships. Should I just call a few Realtors in my area and see if they have any information about the house? I'm just looking for the final piece of the puzzle so I can see about possibly buying this house. I know I have to go through an agent and it took maybe 5 mins at 4am to find this information. Its not like I could have called an agent at 4am

1. Go to property shark.com The best deals I have research is "short sale" up to 30% some banks are willing to loose. If it did not sell as short sale then it goes a foreclosure.
2. You could have saved yourself a whole lot of time in the first place. ANY agent has this information and can access it in seconds. You will need an agent to buy it anyway, may as well call one now.
3. Realty trac only provides pieces of information and not all together. So there could be more than one lien on any property, but they would be listed separately. And NO don't pay for a subscription to information that is free at your local courthouse. DA! And use a professional Realtor, not one new in the biz, not one that lists 100 foreclosures, but one who has sold some and listed some. Using a Realtor is FREE and they have all the knowledge and expertise to help you thru a transaction. But....buyer beware with working with lenders, they are not emotionally involved, don't care what your issues, concerns, likes,/dislikes, time table or the type of breeze you like. They will take their sweet time to provide answers. And NO REPAIRS by most of them. Countrywide is the worst.
