How to Find Real Estate on the Internet

There are multiple real estate Internet websites to find real estate, whether it's a foreclosure, for sale by owner or Realtor websites.

Before you start your hunt, decide what type of property you are looking for. Here are some websites to check out.

Foreclosure Websites

Yahoo.com has a host of information on finding foreclosures, articles, and statistics.

According to Yahoo.com, the following cities rank in the top ten for finding foreclosures:

Merced, CA
Modesto, CA
Stockton, CA
Riverside, CA
Detroit, MI
Fort Lauderdale, FL
Cape Coral, FL
Vallejo, CA
Las Vegas, NV
Sacramento, CA

If you are interested in buying foreclosures, you may want to start with those areas.

If you are selling or leasing real estate, you can buy advertising on Yahoo. For more information, please visit their website.

Foreclosures.com is another site. They have information on foreclosures, mortgages and other real estate resources.

Check out Realtytrac.com for information, auction information, find for sale by owners, real estate agents and much more.

For Sale by Owner

Craig's List is another good place to find and advertise real estate. It is a hotbed of For sale by owners and foreclosure properties. Check the Craig's list site in your area.

Government Sites

HUD.com (Housing and Urban Development Agency) offers a wealth of information on housing counseling, loans and homes for sale.

Fannie Mae properties are listed for sale with local Realtors. Their website has resources for finding a Realtor and Fannie Mae loan programs.

Realtor Websites

If you are interested in buying short sales or bank foreclosures, you may want to check with local Realtors in the area who can find these properties for you in the MLS (multiple listing service).

Using the Internet to locate your investment property is a great tool. You should view the property in person to make sure it meets your criteria. There are companies that will sell you properties on the Internet, but to avoid risks, it's best to do your own physical inspections.

Realtor.com is another website to find homes for sale. Realtors advertise their listings on this website.

Investor Websites

Many investors have their own websites to advertise their inventory. Wholesalers and investors all use the Internet to market their property and themselves, attracting other investors and buyers.

If you are going to market your business on the Internet, you need to pay attention to search engine optimization, search engines, pay per click ads, offer reports and interesting information and resources. I recommend hiring a professional to design your website and get you up and running as well.

The Internet is a valuable resource and tool to use to buy and sell real estate, market yourself and your business, find buyers and meet other investors.
