Pulling free lists in the USA as a Canadian?

[Mark Weins]

Hello,

I am a Canadian citizen living in Toronto and I am looking to start virtually wholesaling in the united states. My question is if I am allowed to pull free lists from American counties/cities such as pre-foreclosures, code violations, fire damaged properties, and water shutoffs despite not being an American citizen? If I request the list will I be forced to disclose this? Will I still be able to get the list under the freedom of information act?

Thank you in advance
