Foreclosure.com

There are other real estate websites dedicated to foreclosures, but Foreclosure.com has the best combination of search criteria, sorting, listing quantity, and, probably most essential in this difficult process, education. Foreclosure.com was created in 1999 by a group of real estate experts and software developers who intended to create a one-stop shop for consumers looking to acquire foreclosure properties. Data is updated twice daily and is sourced directly from tax rolls, government agencies, and notices of lender legal actions. This app has received over 400 ratings on Google Play, with an average rating of 2.6 stars. The app is free to use, but its full functionality is only available to those who have paid the website's monthly subscription cost.

If you think buying a home that isn't in foreclosure is difficult, consider buying a foreclosure, which has its own set of laws that scare many people away. The staff at Foreclosure.com recognizes that it is hard, so they have put a lot of emphasis on the website's articles and checklists to take users through the process of finding a home at a discount. The downloadable information and links to state-specific laws assist customers in making informed decisions.

As you become more familiar with the procedure, you will be able to search and sort for homes in various stages of foreclosure. You can, for example, look for specific property issues such as sheriff sales and tax liens. Another unique feature is the option to search for rent-to-own residences. While there is a monthly fee of $39.80 for the web version and $39.99 for the mobile app, users pay it because they see the opportunity to save tens of thousands of dollars, significantly more than the subscription fee.

Pros:

• How-to articles, legal information, a lexicon, and checklists are all available.
  
• There are around 1.8 million listings in the United States.
• There are numerous search criteria options.
• Document Center provides links to title searches and other paperwork that are required.
