Is there a way to find homes that are currently in foreclosure prior to auction?

I have been checking out some of the foreclosure websites to find a property. However, they give me limited information on the actual property. Where can I get a more detailed report?

My credit score is between 650 and 670. I am planning to buy a house with my husband and his credit score is above 800.
Are foreclosure homes better deal?

My parents recently lost their home to foreclosure and now they are planning to file for bankcrupcy. They recently went to file their taxes and they found out IRS is billing them 52,000 for abandonment even though they have tried for months asking for help from the banks. Need some advise on how i can help guide my parents to the right people to settle the foreclosures.

Wasn’t the bailout suppose to help homeowners refinance if they were facing foreclosure? How? Was there any agency or website to go to in order to start the process?
