Everyone wants to get their hands on a cheap repossessed house, BUT how do you go about finding those repossession houses. Repossessed housing is more often than not cheaper than other property currently within the marketplace, it can be ideal as a starter home or even as a potential business opportunity for example buy to let. Here are a few ideas, tips and suggestions as to how you can go about finding that affordable repossession property.

1. Get on board with all of your local estate agents - Get your name, number and contact details down with estate agents in and around your area - get them to contact you when they get any new properties on their books.

2. Get in contact with all of your local banks, building societies, mortgage companies and similar - Get your name, number and contact details down with these types of businesses in and around your area - get them to contact you when they get any new properties on their books.

5. Use your own initiative - by this I mean get out there, start handing out flyers, business cards and anything else you can to promote and tell people that you are actively on the lookout for properties that are being repossessed or in the process of repossession. Perhaps you could even offer a referral or incentive fee for any one who gets you a valuable/qualified lead (a repossession house/property)
