Drive through....
..........just after dark. Look for the dark homes without power.
or
.........the morning of trash day - not lawn clippings day.
Both give a fairly good idea of vacant properties in a neighborhood.
People make trash and use electricity. Bank owned homes with lawn service will put the clippings out like everybody else. Those without look like crap.
Beware of condos and town homes in a high foreclosure area. HOA votes are based on units. Get a few multi unit owners and they can run the place as income property - driving down unit value - what do they care they are making money renting units - and they can snap up the units now selling low.
