Properties to analyze

Where can I find properties in my area to analyze. I've read the ABC's of real estate investing by Ken McElroy and the book on rental property investing by Brandon Turner and I would like to put into practice the things they taught about analyzing properties so I could get the hang of it. I was thinking about calling different owners and getting information on their property in order to analyze it but I don't think that would be a good idea since I'm not able to purchase. So where can I find properties to analyze that would give me all the information that I need like income and expenses to get a correct assessment?
