I went through all of that crap then I found out I could have gone to the libary for free
Most county courthouses have such information. They often put out a publication every so often (daily, weekly, monthly, it depends on the courthouse). You may have to pay a small subscription fee (maybe $25/yr or less).
You can also go to the courthouse and check the records yourself. That is usually free, but it involves you taking off of work.
I used to get e-mails telling me about foreclosures, however, I found their information to be out-of-date. All of the good properties would be gobbled up days before I found out about it.
They charge you a fee, because the best source for foreclosures is by going to the county courthouse and looking it up there. That means that for a service to provide such a service, they would need to have somebody at the courthouse each and every day. There they would need to spend hours finding and writing up all of the new properties that show up. If they don’t charge for it, then the people who run the service will starve.
Try the local banks or credit unions
The best way to get the listings for free (of upcoming sales) are your local newspaper or paper for the area you are interested in. In most states the firms holding the sales are required to post the sales in a public forum, ie the newspaper. They are usually listed under “Trustee Sales” or “Legal Notices.” They also should be available online at the newspapers website (you may have to be a subscriber to get access). Good luck!
Check out your local auditors website.
Also, check for your local sheriff departments office as well for sheriff sales.

Just doa google search for “XXX county auditor” Replace the XXX with the county that you are trying to do a search for. Best of luck!
