I've seen some posts on here asking about foreclosed houses and finding vacant houses so I decided to write this little guide on how to find vacant houses using an online tool I used to use for real estate. It also lists foreclosures and owners' information if that type of stuff is useful to you.

The data for vacant houses comes from the USPS list for mail forwarding and can be a couple of months old so it's not always guaranteed to be vacant but almost all vacant properties end up on this list at some point.

1. Go to propstream.com
2. Sign up for a 7-day free trial
3. Type a city or zip in the search box
4. Select the big "Vacant" filter button
5. Filter for single-family houses or a nice high-end condo
6. Find that perfect vacant house to squat.
