3. A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO REALTYTRAC

4. WHAT REALTYTRAC IS

housing units
• #1 Foreclosure site – 1.5 million foreclosure and bank-owned
properties nationwide

other national provider

5. WHAT REALTYTRAC IS NOT
• The RealtyTrac foreclosure database is not an “MLS for
foreclosure records”
• Most of the properties in the RealtyTrac database are NOT
on the MLS anywhere
– Less than 20% of the homes in foreclosure are listed
– Only 15% of REOs are listed
– Many MLS organizations prohibit including any REO or
foreclosure information in the property listings
– RealtyTrac gives you advanced notice that it will likely be
‘For Sale’ in the near future.

7. Flipping Overview
What is ‘Flipping?’
•Buying a home or other property usually at a discounted price,
rehabbing it to sell at full market value, and re-selling that
property --- all within 90 days and ideally for a profit.
