I closed, signed all the papers, got my keys and the title company said they would go to the court the next day to record it and there was no issue. 

Some counties in our state, including yours Alexandra, do offer a search function where you can find just the delinquent records, filtered by tax year and amount owed.  

To find other users nearby, use the Networking function. 

And of course document the current condition with plenty of photos and inspection results (toilets function, drains function, etc.)

It's not a formal document, just a simple paper that spells it out and gives them comfort you won't be taking them to court later. 

To use the @ function; hold down the shift key and type @?

I was looking to save some time instead of digging through all the court cases. 

I could go the small claims court route, but I don't know if it will be a problem that I cannot find a signed lease agreement.

@Barry Courts, in addition to what @lisa Kohl has said you need to employ guerilla marketing and reach out to buyers outside of your zipcode and your state.
