Best way for Finding motivated sellers!!!

[John Morgan]

Good morning BP! I am a local investor here in the Akron/Canton/Cleveland Area. I am currently looking for tips on how to find properties that are currently listed with probate and my county (summit, stark, and cuyahoga county) is seeming to be giving me the run around. Does anyone have any tips on how to retrieve these lists from their counties? Do I HAVE to purchase them from outside sources? Please help! Thanks
