Finding info on absentee owners or pre-forclosures

[Donald Cooley]

Hi all, 

Quick question. Anyone know a website that you would get the absentee owner info from or homes close to being for closed on? I live in south eastern Michigan and am looking for different ways to get off market deals going. I am going to start driving for dollars and just want to find a way to get the info after finding some homes. 

Thanks in advance for your help!
