I see that you are local to me, and I can assure that all government office do not check the more accurate resources for ownership information (Clerk of courts or Comptroller) which means you could be missing some important info.  

I'm 4 and 5 years into owning my own turnkeys, and then I've been working more on the seller side of turnkeys for 3 and 4 years (or more accurately, with sellers, not for them).

How accurate is preforeclosure.com when a house is shown as 'active?'

I need to be as accurate as possible!
