We recently moved to the triangle area and we are interested in buying a delinquent house is there anyone on the forum that could possibly give me some insight on the process?

If you are meaning a home in foreclosure or pre-foreclosure, I would suggest that the current state of the economy and our local real estate market do not allow for a large number of properties being sold from a position of distress. A good agent can help you.

In the past, I found that there were more short sales and foreclosures than today.

Most, if not all, foreclosures are bank/lender owned and are on our MLS so there is no need to BUY a list.

I see companies that advertise this all the time and from a couple of people that bought these lists, they are outdated.

Hey OP, best look to the county tax foreclosure sales. They come up monthly and are sold at the courthouse (and subject to 10-day upset bid periods). However, there are not much in the way of deals anymore, as the market is flooded with investors, builders, and newbies all vying for a piece of the RE pie.

And, IF there is anything good, cash buyers flock to them as soon as notices are posted to try to buy out the owner before it goes to auction.

OP? Bring Cash. You won't get a decent deal with a loan. It just will not happen.
