Watch out for these

• This search returns all special proceedings, not only foreclosures. We also saw competency, motor vehicle lien and minor name change cases. Remove them.
• Party Name can be blank on a foreclosure row. Read the Style column too.
• The results table has no address column.
• We walked Wake County by hand and did not open a foreclosure case page. Check what it shows before you plan your list.
