Thanks Brian for the comprehensive reply.

Where I am, I can also subscribe to a service ($100/month) that provides comprehensive details about all trustee sales.

Normally this is very difficult to get done, but we've been able to help a number of Australian investors get their US bank account setup through HSBC.If you need a contact at HSBC, please email me and I can put you in touch with them and give you an overview on the process.
