It takes a little more work, but if you contact the banks in the area you are searching, they themselves usually are able to provide a listing of the properties they themselves are foreclosing on.
Like I said (takes a little more work) it does mean going bank to bank and asking them for a listing, but because you went to them directly, you end up saving money. What they will price the property at for you directly, is not what they will tell a listing service (ie MLS.com) to list at, which means you can save even more money on the purchase.
Hope this helps!!
