Go to your county courthouse every business day. All county records in the US are based on a Grantor-Grantee system of indexing. Open a dictionary and encylopedia and read what this means, so that when you arrive at County Records Office, you will understand how to research the records.
Locate the Grantor-Grantee Index by asking and find out how they index loan and mortgage defaults and pending foreclosure on those defaults.
This should, in most counties except extremely backlogged urban ones, allow you to have next-day access to a self-made list of properties in distress. This makes YOU the insider by simply using public records that ANYONE has legal access to view and research (during business hours). You will have your data faster than most realtors who rely on net-based services to provide this data which is usually 5-7 behind in updating.

How do you find property before the other blood suckers get the jump on you. just by your question you admit that there are hidden markets and no fair or open competition.
it is this type of crap that has shorted the market and caused this bubble. I bet each one of you guys talk about how your home is an investment, how would you like your investment ran the same way. The market is such a scam and i Hope you all get what you deserve.
