Make sure you are putting your ad in multiple sites, newspapers etc.  

I don't imagine any eviction notices would be published in the local press, mainly because of space and manpower issues (not to mention, most newspapers keep far away from landlord-tenant disputes).However, the info itself should be public information that is readily available, regardless of state, because it is a legal action and can be found in court records.

Assuming there's equity and it's in a neighborhood with decent demand, you could just advertise the property on craigslist, the newspaper, facebook etc. and wait to get calls. 

Right now I dont wont them to call people but I know that some of them specialize in lead generation, but I don't want the  to go to CL and just get me names and numbers bc once I had them get some information about buyers and the leads was crap.I know that not every lead is gold but I would like for all of them not to be junk.I dont wont them to cut and paste from then newspaper or web sites.

We know Cuban officials want more openness with the US, but The day after Obama visits there, Fidel pens an anti-American letter, which is printed in the newspaper.  

I started reading local newspapers and business journals to get some insight of the market here.
