not sure that gives you a leg up ... this is usually the first step towards a foreclosure.So unless you can buy the paper.. or find a semi private lender who is hiring these folks and may sell paper... other wise it will be a short matter of time when its all public record

I'm trying to scrap the entire MLS of my local area's public MLS, which uses a FlexMLS Javascript site.  

The public really looks at and stack ranks agents based on total quantity of reviews. 

I'm digging around on the public records site searching 'lis pendens'. 

Good news is there seems to be opportunity here, bad news is no one knows what I'm talking about and I feel I'm being way over charged for something that's a public record.

It's good size - 1.67 acres, I'm 99% sure there were no encroachments.The B-II Requirements includes a clause:  "Any encroachment, encumbrance, violation or adverse circumstance affecting the Title including discrepancies, conflicts in boundary lines, shortage in area, or any other facts that would be disclosed by an accurate and complete land survey of the land, and are not shown in the Public Records."

I'm sure many would say this is insane, but we live in a smaller town and our address is on the rental agreement and readily available in public records.  

I am a frequent poster on Bogleheads and think index investing is the only way to go for publicly-traded securities.  

The FHAA also does not apply to publicly owned (government owned) housing or to section 8 housing.

These guy/gals are real hard to find, at least good ones as usually you'll find the better ones are not in the public but are employees in a large institution.
