I'm in Lower Alabama and some of the pictures have SNOW on and around the house. That site is bogus.

I typed in my zipcode, we've got 350 people in our town. A couple of houses I see are my neighbors' so I KNOW those aren't in foreclosure, one isn't even for sale.

I wouldn't trust that site.

Yeah um..dont think so. Would have been interesting though.

Another scam on top of all the other scams. When will it all end? People trying to make a killing off others misery. Stupid site. No way would I pay them anything.

I'll go to my local realtor.com site---that should be free. Not that I am looking for another house. We are going to pay off the one we have.

You have to pay to see the 'real' houses. It says hose pix are just samples.

The 2 sites I listed are valid sites.....they are bank owned (foreclosed) properties.

You can pull up banks online and search for "properties for sale" or "forclosures for sale", etc....and some will redirect you to the properies that are currently available....

I was just searching Chase... http://mortgage.chase.com/pages/othe...es_landing.jsp

Here's IndyMac.... http://www.indymac.com/infoextended....id&itemid=1466

This site is more accurate. www.foreclosure.com

Geesh---even this site wants payment to give out info. No way.

This should make us all mad. The banks practically give these homes away to peope who could not keep up with the payments when the government said, let the poor own homes.

I am just wondering who is benefiting the most from this mess. Follow the money. Seems to be a big racket for someone to make out like a bandit.

This has been going on for years and years. People have bought houses they think they can afford and they cant, or they can afford it but lose their job. Banks dont just take your house away from you if you miss a payment. It is an ongoing thing. I am sure the bank would rather work with people than just take the home. If you were one of the people who bought a foreclosed home for next to nothing, you would"nt be complaining about it.

The way I see it, the only person who makes out on this is the people who buy the house and get the great deal.

Thats just my opinion though.

I am just wondering who is benefiting the most from this mess. Normal people like us janelle are benefitting (so to speak).Follow the money. This might shock you but it isn't always big money.Seems to be a big racket for someone to make out like a bandit.Making out like a bandit eh??? Have you ever even looked at a foreclosed home before? Here is your wake up call. I feel safe to say that less then 1/4 are move in condition. We purchased our foreclosed home in December and here it is March and we are still doing repair to it so it is liveable! I can't even begin to tell you the amount of money we have spent on "our good deal" just to get it liveable!

Bush bragged and bragged that the number of people owning their own homes were soooo high. Yet Obama gets the blame for it...HAHA!!! Its NO ONES FAULT but the freaking buyers. If their greed wouldn't have gotten in the way they wouldn't have lost their homes to begin with. Then when they find themselveves in foreclosure they take great joy in destroying the home. The are freaking idiots and I don't care who the President it!

I noticed that also. I am in Orlando and I guarantee there has never been a house here that had snow completely covering the front lawn.

Those aren't the real homes. Their disclaimer says something to that effect. They try to hook you in then hopefully you'll buy a membership.
