Foreclosures, seizures, tax deeds, sheriff sales, and government surplus — pulled from 20+ official sources into one dashboard. No course to buy, no "strategy call."
Live data
Pulled directly from the government's GSA Auctions API — real-estate lots only, cheapest first. Houses and land show up here occasionally; most federal real estate sells on RealEstateSales.gov.
The motherlode
Official .gov listings — foreclosed, seized, and surplus property straight from the agencies.
Crime doesn't pay — you profit
The Marshals and Treasury don't run their own bidding sites — these contractors do. Check all of them; inventory rotates constantly.
Where the deepest discounts hide
County-level sales are where properties go for pennies on the dollar — the same "hidden databases" the paid AI tools scan. Most counties auction through one of these platforms.
High volume
Bank-owned (REO) and GSE-owned inventory — sort by lowest price and watch for re-lists.

Why they're cheap: most need major repairs, sit in rural or declining markets, or come with strings attached (occupied, liens, no interior access before sale). Price in a full inspection contingency where allowed — many auctions are strictly as-is with none.
Cash rules: most auctions require cash or proof of funds and a non-refundable deposit (often 5–10%) the day you win. FHA 203(k) loans can work on HUD homes; almost nothing else at this price finances conventionally.
Tax sales: know your state — a tax lien buys you the debt, not the house; a tax deed buys the property, but often with a redemption period. GovEase, RealAuction, and county sites list both — read which one you're bidding on.
Sheriff sales: mortgage foreclosures sold at the courthouse (or online). Opening bids are often the loan balance, but stale judgments on cheap houses can open under $10k. Junior liens usually wipe; property taxes don't.
Probate: heirs who inherit a house they don't want are motivated sellers. There's no national database — check your county probate court's public case search, then contact the estate's representative. This is the "secret" the $5k courses sell.
Title: government forfeiture sales usually convey clean title; tax deeds and sheriff sales often don't. Budget for a title search (~$100) before bidding, and quiet-title costs after a tax deed.
HUD trick: owner-occupants get a 30-day exclusive bidding window before investors, and HUD counters low bids less late in a listing's life. Watch for price reductions on aged listings.
Rent estimates on this page: the "Est. rent" figure is HUD's Fair Market Rent (40th-percentile 2-bedroom) for the listing's metro or county — a planning number, not a promise. Gross yield = annual FMR ÷ price, before taxes, insurance, and repairs.
