Hi,
There are lots of services where you can pay to get information (List's) of properties that had "Notice of Defaults" filed against an owner and property! (Foreclosure.com / Foreclosures.com / etc, etc, etc.)
As for out of town owners if you prescribe to a data service you can search for owner addresses outside of a specific state!
You also can get this information through the tax assessors office of tax bills sent to out of state owners!
That I know of there are no specific lists brokers of out of state owners!
GR
