I know that I can research public records at the local county circuit court.

That's a reason to dig in, not run.As @Jeff Zamora said, I'd look up the name of the owner using public records, and then use skip trace tools to try to find a way to contact them.

Whenever you are dealing with someone in Wisconsin one of the things you can do is check Ccaps which is the public records for Wisconsin courts.

The site is mainly for commercial agents but they do have a public listing search as well.

Even in my thread a few people thought it was a "bash" on wholesalers and to the contrary I pointed out many instances of what NOT to do so that one can be a viable and profitable wholesaler. yes, there are many nasayers and bashers here, typical of any large public site with many opinions, however, let the record be set straight that wholesaling is NOT illegal, immoral, corrupt, or any other negative word.

Isn't there any public notice newspapers in Ohio?

Handyman magazine is handy for the beginner and pro, other home improvement publications and sites are full of techniques, but actual skills take practice to master.You can get an idea of material costs at the supplier, their ads usually have common materials.

Its all available to the public. 

I'm just wondering when will the public come to the party.

I also plan on forming new investment companies with other investors, or to be an investor in other investment companies; however, there are strict rules on publicly advertising or soliciting offers.
