Hey Kendra, Great Question. You can search for foreclosures and REOs directly in Matrix. Try using keywords like "foreclosure" or "preforeclosure" in the agent remarks section.

They are in the mls or you can search foreclosehouston.com which is a paid service. They are auctioned the first Tuesday of the month with cash paid at that time, no financing.
