I would check with your local county first. Our county started doing freclosure auctions online.It is still difficult to locate the property by using the legal description, but some basic knowledge of neighborhoods will help.

Every website is different as they pull ther information from different sources. Realty Trac is a good source but you will have to pay for a membership after the initial free trial period expires. 

It can be very hard for sites to list just the foreclosures because it is how the information is listed into the MLS. Some banks don't allow the listing agent to note that the home is a foreclosure. Sometimes you just have to read the description and look for keywords like Corporate addendums apply or selling as-is.
