Get property-level foreclosure and distressed-property records straight from official government registries, normalized into one analysis-ready schema. Real-estate investors, wholesalers, and proptech teams use these registries to find distressed properties early — and unlike list brokers, this Actor queries the live government datasets on demand, so you see new registrations as soon as the city publishes them.

The standout source: Los Angeles requires lenders to register every foreclosed property — including the lender's name and phone number and the property-management company and its phone number. That's a direct-contact lead list most brokers charge a premium for.

Fields a registry doesn't publish are null — your pipeline gets a stable schema either way. Records with neither a street address nor a geocode are dropped (you are not charged for them).

Cost of a typical run

All three registries are official open-data APIs: no proxies, no CAPTCHAs, runs complete in seconds. You pay per property record delivered — see the pricing tab. A full default run (500/registry, 90 days) typically returns a few hundred records and costs a couple of dollars.

Known limitations

• Cincinnati withholds street addresses on recent filings (privacy practice). Those records still include exact lat/long coordinates and a link to the city's case report — reverse-geocode or follow the link for the address.
• LA's registry is updated in batches by the city; expect the newest registrations to be weeks (not days) old. Prince George's and Cincinnati run days-fresh.
• LA publishes one dataset per calendar year; this Actor tracks the current year and is updated at rollover.
• Record types differ by jurisdiction (lender registrations vs. county submissions vs. vacancy filings) — the record_type field tells you which process generated each record.
• Coverage is the registry's: these are official filings, not a national MLS-style feed.

Changelog

• 0.1 (2026-06-10) — initial release: Los Angeles, Prince George's County MD, Cincinnati; unified schema; lead-quality filter (address-or-geocode); graceful partial-failure handling.
