Can't find Pre-Foreclosure Properties

[Blake Grzybowski]

I am a wholesaler in Michigan and would like to start reaching out to potential sellers who are in the pre-foreclosure process. I can't seem to find any info to get a list of all of the pre-foreclosure properties (at least in kent county). I've reached out to banks, district courts and county to find where I could get a list. They all tell me to got to Legal News because all mortgage related things are posted by them. Issue is, all of Legal News' info is properties going into foreclosure and being sold in a 4-5 weeks at auction. I've done deed searches and look at different documents filed. Nothing gets posted in Notice of Default. Most things are posted under some sort of lien (Lien, Misc. Lien, State Tax Lien, Fed Tax Lien. Very rarely are there postings in Notice of Judgement of Foreclosure docs and Certificate of Forfeiture of Real Property. Lastly, majority of of liens are posted in Judgement Lien Documents(JLD). I have found the JLDs to be mostly from credit card companies and banks, but I am still unsure if that's what I am suppose to be looking for or not. I know I can still reach out to the foreclosure lists and I do. Just looking to get a head start I guess you could say. Any pointers on where to go or to look to find the list would be unbelievably appreciated. Thanks in advanced!
