Leads: Preforeclosure List

[Yacoub Alghanimi]

Hello Everyone,

I am getting started into Real Estate specifically into wholesaling. I am trying to get preforeclosure leads and according to everything I read, it always says contact your local county. I contacted my local county register of deeds (Wayne County, Michigan) and the receptionist said that mortgage companies don't file a notice of default or notice of trustee sale and it's not something that mortgage companies normally do. In addition, she mentioned that i might be able to attain NOD or notice of trustee sale, if I contact the mortgage companies. 

Do mortgage companies provide preforeclosure information? and if so, do they charge?

If mortgage companies don't, how would I be able to gain access to NOD and notice of trustee sale?
