Preforeclosure Advice - Went to County Clerk with no luck.

I read Joshua Dorkin's article on finding pre-foreclosures. I went to my county recording office and the county clerk tell me that they do not keep records of Notice of Defaults. What other methods are there for me to find pending notice of defaults in my county?

Thanks

Here are Five Ways to Find Foreclosures or Pre-Foreclosures:

1. Search Public Records:

In various stages of the foreclosure process, notices are recorded with the County Clerk at your County Recorder's Office. This information is public record and is available to anyone. Just visit your county's office and you can search for a Notice of Default (NOD), Lis Pendens or for a Notice of Sale. The best part of searching public records yourself is that it is Free.

In addition, you’re likely to find newly posted properties that haven’t yet reached many of the online foreclosure data providers.

2. Look Online:
