"Lot 5, Block 7 of the Meadowbrook Subdivision) - I add this because may of the documents (unless you open the attached documents which are often pdfs or images), won't have the actual full property address (some counties such as Cook county in Illinois will have both the parcel ID# and address which makes it easier to search your local property appraisal district and pull the property information.Some counties have hundreds of document types which may be a bit overwhelming (You can always ask ChatGTP or similar to tell you which are highly relevant as some states have additional docs or they may call them something slightly different) below are few others that may be relevant , or sometimes they may just give you an acronym - for example in Harris county you may see L/P as Lis Pendens.Notice of Default (NOD)Notice of Substitute Trustee Sale (NOSTS)Appointment of Substitute Trustee (AOST)Mechanic’s/Materialmen’s Lien (MML)Tax LienHOA/POA LienAbstract of Judgment (AOJ)Lis Pendens (LP)Deed of Trust (DOT)Loan ModificationBankruptcy Filing NoticeRelease of Lien (ROL)Partial ReleaseAssignment of Deed of Trust (ADOT)Notice of AccelerationFederal Tax LienFTLProbate Filing / Affidavit of HeirshipEviction FilingQuiet Title ActionNotice of Trustee's DeedI wanted to give a bit of background as many of you are trigger happy on commercial products by selecting “Preforeclosures” without really knowing what it means (Many of you who are seeking easy money and aren’t running a viable real-estate business ).I will say the primary challenge you'll have is that there's a lot of manual processing involved here such as- Reading manual documents (PDFs or images) - This is how you'll find the true address, or find the deed of trust instrument # so you can reference the deed of trust and find all the property information.- Some may only include the legal description - So you'll have to manually cross check with the county property appraisal district sites to pull the property.- Some counties (Specially in states like Georgia) will want you to register and pay for some of these documents.Anyways, I hope that helps as many commercial products will publish these after 30+ days!
