You'll find Notice of foreclosure sales in real property records. Some tax foreclosure sales will use a handful of law firms. These law firms may also post foreclosure sales on their website. Here are a few online websites: 1. ************** 2. auction.com 3. Grantstreet.com.
Online auctions are very competitive and some in person auctions are too. If you want pre-foreclosure specifically, the court records is the way to go. There are companies that vet these and just send you a list.

I've been using https://www.realtytrac.com as a starting point. The interface is a bit clunky but there's lots more data than Zillow. I'm also interested in hearing from others re: their sources of information.

Short of looking for a filed lis pendens without a foreclosure "start" associated with it at a county clerk, pre-foreclosures are "credit" issues, i.e., folks behind without a legal filing; n essence, a credit matter, @Anna Patty makes a good suggestion in just being a bloodhound and sniffing out circuitous leads. I cannot be of more help because pre-forelosures fall out the "legal"/"filing" realm.
Foreclosures can be found with slight diligence at the local recording office.

The only source I get my pre-foreclosure leads from is directly from the county recorder or circuit court. Some counties publish this on their websites. Smaller counties you'll have to visit the office and search their computers for this info. Remember, the more difficult it is to get the information the less competition there is for you! In most states you're looking for the notice of trustee's sale, notice of sale or notice of foreclosure. This document typically contains:
Owner name
Lender name
Attorney name
Date of auction
Location of auction
Principal balance and/or judgment amount
Here's the info I found for New Hampshire:
Non-judicial foreclosure, no redemption rights for owner after the sale.
Sales held at property to be auctioned
TERMS OF SALE A deposit of $5,000.00 in the form of a
certified check satisfactory to the Mortgagee's attorney will
be required to be delivered at or before the time a bid is
offered. The balance of the purchase price shall be paid
within forty (40) days from the sale date in the form of a
certified check, bank treasurer's check or other payment

@Jake Burhans
I believe it will depend on where you’re investing.
How are defining pre-foreclose?
For my state, when someone goes into pre-foreclosure (I am defining it as - when they first are behind and get a notice from a bank that they’re behind on payments)- that information is not public. You can only use marketing to find these people.
Now if you want to find a list of people where there is an auction scheduled that list depends on if your state is a judicial or non judicial state.
I recommend either calling the court house (if you’re a judicial state) or calling a foreclosure attroney (if you’re a non-judicial State) and asking them to explain the foreclosure process for beginning to end- that way you can seek a list.
