We don't have the same rental cash flow but our appreciation and public demographics trump most states.

When I speak publicly about investing, I like to say, "99% of the licensees out there make the rest of us look bad."

Listed properties are being marketed to the public.  

Strange that should be public and not locked down.

Some of the info Im looking to find is for my local area MD/PG County area is:-Market inventory-Avg days on the market-Median sale price-Forclosure rates I've read some of this info if not all is collected by the local board of realtors & released to the public quarterly/monthly.

I would continue to dig in public records for another loan.  

., though that does not settle the issue of possession since the previous owner might still be in the property and you may still have to evict them.So, your list source is likely to be any source which mines the public records for specific information and then sells lists of properties based on the information you select, such as tax issues.

Every time I hear someone talking about real estate out in public, I introduce myself to them.

I would think it's for public records.  

This information is not public knowledge, which it should be.
