This document provides tips for finding foreclosure properties in North and Central New Jersey. It recommends combing through online foreclosure listings, searching lesser-known legal publications where default notices are published, establishing relationships with brokers who will notify you of upcoming foreclosures, contacting homeowners before their properties go into foreclosure, acting with integrity, and working with niche specialists who focus on finding foreclosures in the area.
1. How to find foreclosures in North
and Central New Jersey
Finding them is only one part of the
process – you also need to know how
to capture them.
2. How to find foreclosures in NJ
Here are a few secrets from the pros that we’ve
used with great success on how to find great
foreclosure deals in North and Central New
Jersey.
3. Comb The Listings
Comb through the same listings everyone uses.
There’s a lot of ways to access local foreclosure
data in New Jersey and your surrounding area –
foreclosure.com does a relatively good job of
combing through default notices, bankruptcies,
tax sales and distressed asset lists.
4. Comb The Listings
The main drawback with online resources like
that is there tends to be a lag time in the time
they get the info online… so the data can be a
bit old sometimes.
5. Lesser-known Publications
Search the lesser-known publications
sometimes used by smaller lenders.
Most of the publications in New Jersey
are indexed and captured online, but every once
in a while a lender will mistakenly only publish in
a smaller circulation if they think it meets the
legal requirements.
6. Lesser-known Publications
These notices are the notices of default that
lenders are legally required to publish in public
record. Those are one of the first places you can
find out about a foreclosure.
7. Get to know a Broker
Establish great working relationships with at
least one broker.
When you’re starting out as an investor in New
Jersey, you’d better not burn any bridges –
especially with the power real estate brokers in
this town.
8. Get to know a Broker
The best of the bunch (and that’s a very short
list) work with dozens of investors, and they
know exactly who is looking to buy what
property – they’ll call the ones that they
know will close the deal without hassles to
them.
9. Get to know a Broker
Once you’re off the short list of folks who get
the calls, you probably won’t get back on it.
There are too many credible investors looking
for great deals for them to bother dealing with
rookie mistakes.
Interview a few, and make it your intention to
give all your business to one person.
10. Get to know a Broker
Make it clear what that broker must do to earn and
keep your business, play fair and never compromise
your integrity.
If you have to fire that broker, do so with grace and
it will be a learning experience for everyone. But
don’t ever fire a pro on a whim.
Be incredibly loyal and it will come back to you in
countless ways over the years.
11. Before a Default Notice
Find people before their properties are in
foreclosure and help them before a default
notice gets published.
This one is probably the hardest and most time-
consuming method, but it is one of the only
ways to avoid the competition of lots
of speculators that descend upon any published
foreclosure like vultures to a fresh kill.
12. Integrity
Speaking of which, you don’t win in
this business by treating people like roadkill.
Remember that your reputation is everything,
and act with integrity.
13. Before a Default Notice
People facing foreclosure are in very difficult
circumstances, and they need help – not
predatory behavior.

sales, lease options and other complex
transactions, everyone wins – and no one loses.
