I have been using it on and off, and it just seem to provide non-sense data I can get elsewhere. Anyone have any success with it?

Find the Trustee Sale attorneys in your area and call to see if they have a website that has all the properties that they are handling. You can actually go to one of the sites that Josh has listed, get a free trial and start clicking on properties and get their detailed information , what you will start noticing is that there are a handful attorneys that handle all or most of the trustee sales in your area. Start googling and you will find the attorney contact info. :cool:

Free Resources : Title Companies Attorneys Newspapers County Records Office Craigslist I have used, to a higher degree od success, Title Companies and craigslist. Good Luck!

What are some other resources that people can use?

fake guy u are right tried it and it was a little behind. since you are in CA you should try forclosureradar.com title co. turned me on to it and it has worked pretty well cost me 44 a month but it seems pretty quick about getting outhe info. just not sure how many other states it is in , i know there is more but have only used it in CA.

For us Newbs out here, how do you find the free resources? Ask the court house for a list of preforeclosures?

I have never found anything good on their site

I have been doing some research and here is what I found. Most web sites suck. In fact I discovered that around the globe with a gazillion different sites that Google only indexes less than 1% of the sites in the whole freaking world. If you check out this techie guy Kevin Kelly: Predicting the next 5000 days of the web on the youtube he explains it pretty well. Here is what I have discovered.. 1.sites like these acknowledge the fact that WE ARE THE INTERNET. Its just people connected to people. 2. We can all smell BS even across cyberspace. If it don't do what it says its gonna do.....then it ain't what it says it is either. 3.All of this data like access to the research capabilities hidden in the various MLS databases (which is where appraisals come from) is available to you now. Anybody interested in helping build the link list so we can peruse every MLS in the country? I have started it but its a hell of a lot of work and it will go faster with more bodies. Here's my rules of engagement for my business ventures whether for profit or for public service and this one will be for both. Rules (Obtained from Dr. Clinton Walker of the Foundation for Advanced Research- an old Howard Hughes employee. He is president of the board for a 501 (c)3 (FAR) that holds 3/4 of a billion dollars (more or less) of debt free assets and he looks for things of value in the world to help promote. I can't build the graphic in this box because I don't have drawing tools but think of a golden triangle ( no jokes you hippies and other Thailand tourists) The base is ETHICS one side is $$ and the other side is LAW. Test any act before performing the act and save yourself much grief by adhering to these rules of engagement First if the deed ain't ethical, don't do it. Second if the deed is ethical but doesn't make fiscal sense,(sn't sustainable) then don't do it. Third if it is ETHICAL makes $$ sense but isn't legal don't do it. If you have all three sides of the triangle complete the dynamic of the deed is virtually unstoppable unless you fail in one of the three areas first. I think this site has one of the most diverse sets of free thinking Americans I have come across in some time. The economic power we can wield by sharing information in this way is vast. It feels good to be here

You are right they suck, they have agreat PR dept, that is about it
