Hi Chris,
Most of the larger banks do not handle the disposition of the property through their REO departments. Instead they assign these properties to an asset manager. Unless you are on the approved list with the asset manager you will not be able to get this listing. If it is a smaller local bank, private beneficiary or credit union you could have a chance to get that listing through their REO department. Keep in mind that some larger banks use several different asset managers depending on who the investor is on that loan.
We have a great webinar called Breaking Into the REO club that talks about this at length.
