    YA has been working on their website and there were a lot of issues going on for a little while but now you should be ok.

    BTW-Go down to your local courthouse and ask them where they keep the list of foreclosures in your area. Go to the list and if you find a property or properties, write down the document number of each one and take your list back to the clerk. Ask the clerk to pull the files and there you will find all the information like owners name, attorney, what is owed, back taxes, liens, sale date,etc.

    Error 999 is Yahoo's generic warning to stop what you are doing. Usually it appears when you try to post a link in your question. Post your question without the link. Then go back and choose EDIT and add the link.

    Yahoo allows questions about buying foreclosed homes.

    I've seen plenty of foreclosed home questions. Do a virus scan
