How to Buy a Foreclosure
Three steps to closing on a distressed property
Find the Property
Search Auction.com, HUD Homes, and your county's foreclosure listings. Filter by state, city, or zip code. Set alerts for new listings.
Due Diligence
Order a title search to find liens. Inspect the property (or bid with a contingency). Check HOA dues, tax liens, and code violations before bidding.
Finance & Close
Get pre-approved for a 203k rehab loan or conventional financing. At auction, you'll need cash or proof of funds. Budget 10โ15% for repairs.
