Austin,TX County Foreclosure Listings (First-Time Homebuyer)

Jake Ridley

Hi,

I am a first-time homebuyer in Austin, TX.  I am interested in getting creative in this hot market and purchasing a foreclosure as my primary residence.  I currently have access to the County "Foreclosure Notice" site.  There are literally hundreds of listings for this year. Each listing shows information like address, property titling, but also the original loan paperwork, so I'm able to see the original loan amount.  It seems like all of this is pretty valuable information, I'm just not sure what to do next.  None of these properties show up as foreclosed on any traditional websites, so I'm guessing most of these are in pre-foreclosure?  

I guess this seems too good to be true, but I'm not even sure what to do next.  Does anyone have any advice on how to proceed or if I am wasting my time with this?  

TIA
