I did have a preliminary meeting with the City in evaluating 'pre feasibility' for development options there, and I honestly wasn't super excited about the prospects for the land with regards to building a house or business (given the zoning, utilities situation primarily).I don't really have a reason to not inquire about this publicly on the forums, but we have some interest in your land, however we don't need the whole lot. 

Sorry.I just have this feeling he is planing to use you to make more money, and shadowing is not enough a reward in my opinion for you to find him wholesale deals,But to answer your question..the SECOND there is a system that the general public can use to find deals the system ceases to be useful.That is why SEO is the best way to find deals because no one can invade your space.

We have a legal resource website that is open to the public as long as you live in Arizona.

@Renee Yarbrough this may reiterate what has already been stated, it’s no easy feat to admit that you made a mistake, especially on a public forum.

Zillow has done a nice service to customers/consumers, in sharing lots of publicly available information. 

did you use  any creative financing, delayed  settlement, seller take back, subject to, wraps, banking days, possession before settlement, seller refi for take over, hybrid offer or public auction disclosure?

Most states have Association of Realtors and many of them provide the public with market data and trends.

Then look up the owner at your city public records. 

Sheriffs auctions are not publicized like foreclosure auctions, so there was only 2 other bidders.
