An Easy Way To Find Foreclosures In Your Area

The trailer that Junior and I had our hearts set on is now rented. This means we have to search for somewhere else to live. I knew it was a long shot that the trailer would stay vacant until February, but we were hoping. Today on the way home from my moms, we drove around a little, seeing what else we could find.

I was thrilled when we found a cute little house that is for rent, and it is a three bedroom. Junior is going to call the number on Monday to see how much it is. It is also for sale, so we are thinking they might offer us a rent to own option, which would be awesome. I tried looking it up online when we got home, and after an exhausting search, I finally found it. It is listed for about $95,000, but it didn't give the rental price.

My mom has become the expert at finding houses online. She used to scour Foreclosure Listings before she bought her house. She was convinced that a foreclosure was the way she wanted to go. Sometimes I think Junior and I should go that route, too.My problem is that I have a hard time finding things online. Having a site that lists foreclosed homes, like foreclosurepatch.com is a great way to find listings in your area. I searched my town, and found quite a few nice forclosure homes that were really inexpensive. The only problem we will have is qualifying for a mortgage. But, if we stay on the path we are on right now, in a few short years we shouldn't have any problem buying a home, and trust me when I say I am really looking forward to that day!

These days with the economy the way it is, I know that there are more foreclosures than usual. It is an awesome opportunity if you have the credit. Having had a bankruptcy due to a business partnership that started to go bad though, we too have to wait a while to get into a good home. I know exactly how you feel.
