How do go about finding foreclosures in my area?
Answer:
Best way is probably to find a good buyer's agent that works the market. This kills two birds with one stone without costing you anything. That buyer's agent should know which ones aren't scams and should be paying for them out of their pocket as a way to attract business. Because the fresher you hit them, the better your chances are!
Most are scams. I would ask your bank for a forclosure list. and it is free!
You might also contact a bank & ask them how and where they publish their foreclosed properties. Also ask them the question you posed here. Good luck.

Good website below.
The best and most dependable website I have found sofar, is realtytrac.com.
I think going through a foreclosure lawyer is the best way. Otherwise, ask a realtor who specializes in foreclosures.
If you want to pay for a listings, then try realtytrac.com.
For future reference though, check out this new web site, www.buyselllistings.com. It's free, no monthly charges. It offer buyers a list of PRE Foreclosure properties advertised by the actually property owner. Keep in mind it's a new site and only serious sellers posts on there. All alls expires within 30 days and owners would have to manually renew ad so there should not be any outdated information. I hope it may be of use to you in the future.
Good luck.
try your county clerk's office, all the info there is public information
