How to find out which properties have gone into default

[David Miller]

hey everyone,

after just a few weeks on BP (and serious time on the podcast) my knowledge has gone up 10x...which means i now understand 10x how much more there is to learn! :)

thx all of you who've helped give your time and advice. 

what i realize now is just how hot our market is here in asheville, which makes finding anything that even comes close to passing the 2% rule very difficult, or just about impossible unless i can find a truly motivated seller. 

i've noticed on zillow that country records will state when a home is in default. i'm sure there's a lag time there. is there a way to get this information faster? is it obtainable directly from the country recorders' office...and if so what would i do to get it?

pls forgive the noob question...i'm sure a million ppl have already thought of this but i'm not seeing this exact question here on the forums.
