Preforclosures in OH

[Patrick Malinowski]

I’m looking for information on how I can find preforeclosures in OH specifically. From my understanding, OH does not require a notice of default to be filed before the lender can file the foreclosure complaint in the common pleas court. So the first traceable document I can look up is when the lender has already begun the foreclosure process and the property will end up in a sheriff’s sale. I’d like to have a chance at getting properties before the lender files the foreclosure complaint and the lender bids it up in an auction situation. Besides looking at Zillow (which usually has out of date info) is there somewhere else I can find properties that are in preforeclosure?

I appreciate any help or advice!

Thanks for the explanation! It seems I was misunderstanding what is considered preforeclosure. In that case, I can use the initial filing of the complaint by the lender as a flag I can track and generate my own lists with.
