Best Answer

Foreclosure sales are governed by state laws and mortgage and foreclosure laws vary. First, you could contact the lender and express your interest in purchasing the property to determine what the terms are. You may need to show up at the foreclosure sale and make a bid. You may be able to negotiate a short sale. It may depend on how far the process has progressed. You should arrange to have the title examined to disclose any and all other liens that affect the property. You should contact an attorney beforeyou sign anything related to a foreclosed property.

It is never advisable for an individual to attempt to buy foreclosed property without legal representation.

An easy way to find a foreclosed home would be to use the website GovernmentAuctions.org - they have a large list of foreclosures throughout the United States and you can even define your search to within a few miles of your zip code. There is a foreclosure tutorial on the site as well in case this was your first time on the market for a home or property.
