When a homeowner is unable to make their loan payments, eventually the lender has no choice but to foreclose on the home. Banks and other lending institutions are not in the real estate business. They do not wish to flip homes for a profit or own rental property. They want to get bad loans off the books and they want to do so as quickly as possible. That's why investors are often able to find fantastic deals and get bargain prices on foreclosures.

When a home goes into foreclosure the bank, lender, or sometimes a government agency such as HUD or the VA will advertise in small local newspapers that the property will be sold at auction on a given date. Great deals can often be had at auctions or trustees sales but you will have to bring cash or cashier's checks and be able to pay the full amount that you are willing to bid on that property immediately.

When properties do not sell at auction, the lender or government agency retains ownership of the property and it becomes known as an REO or real estate owned. REO's will usually be listed with real estate agents to try to sell these properties but there are often many properties available and there are companies that will research both properties that are about to go up for auction as well as REO's and compile lists for people looking to invest in these types of properties.

You can do the research on your own but obtaining these lists is a huge timesaver and as an investor your time is very valuable and is better spent on a number of other tasks.

Getting a list of properties to be sold at upcoming auctions or a list of REO's that banks, lending institutions and government organizations are desperate to get rid of will not only save you loads of time but will also reveal far more opportunities than you would ever be able to find on your own.
