Sources of Real Estate Information

There are many sources of information that a prospective buyer can resort to when looking for a real estate property. Some of these are:

Bulletin boards, small publications and local papers. Make sure you buy the first copy straight off the press so someone hasn’t beaten you to a bargain.
20% of garage sales are held by people selling out and moving on. Ask neighbors of people holding garage sales whether the house is coming up for sale.
Check out with local lenders about any imminent foreclosures or short sales. If you pre-qualify with lenders, you stand a better chance if something arises.
The local newspaper has postings about tax sales, foreclosure auctions, HUD and VA listed properties. The best chances of success are when a property must be sold and the auction is held in bad weather.
Post fliers in public places, offering a commission on a hot deal.
