Best way to get information on properties that will be auctioned at the courthouse?

[Shaneel L.]

I'm interested in learning how to obtain the best information on residential and commercial properties. I've been to the auction several times, 70% of the time i've seen people bring in their own list of properties they're interested in. What is the best way to obtain those?

I've tried websites like foreclosure.com or realtytrac but they all will search from county to county. If there is a website that will allow us to search for the whole state, that would be much better.

I've heard some investors buy a list from a realtor.

Has anyone been doing this for a long time and guide me in the right direction?
