Foreclosure data providers provide investors, real estate agents and mortgage brokers with the foreclosure data they need in order to pursue foreclosed properties. A good provider will have a good local understanding and focus, and will acquire the foreclosure data directly from the source. Data is typically made available in a downloadable format such as XLS (Microsoft Excel) or CSV (Comma-separated values) so the user can import the data into a database or investment analysis software.
Famous quotes containing the words data and/or provider:
“This city is neither a jungle nor the moon.... In long shot: a cosmic smudge, a conglomerate of bleeding energies. Close up, it is a fairly legible printed circuit, a transistorized labyrinth of beastly tracks, a data bank for asthmatic voice-prints.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“That is the thankless position of the father in the family—the provider for all, and the enemy of all.”
—J. August Strindberg (1849–1912)
