I'm sending a web site address. It will give you an idea of what is available in foreclosures in the USA. You need the zip code (postal code), which you can easily find for any town in the USA by searching on Google.

The website is one where you pay for information, but you can see the information about the houses without paying, just not the contact information. I've never paid for information, because information about foreclosures in public record at the county courthouse. I ony buy locally, so it's easy for me to research local foreclosures.

It's also easy to see list prices on Realtor.com or google real estate in the town you are interested in and you'll get lots of real estate agents and their listings. That way you can compare the price for the foreclosures to the asking price in the area.

On Foreclosures, it is expected that you will offer less (sometimes much less) than what the bank is asking for.

It's also pretty musch standard that you will have extensive repairs on foreclosures, so that must be budgeted for.
