Thank you Alex for your response. I will dive into Postgis and see what I can flush out.

There appears to be four extra algorithms in the processing toolbox that are not available in the Graphical Modeler. "Random selection", "Random selection within subsets", "Select by attribute", "Select by location" do not exist in the Graphical Modeler. Is this by design? I apologize for my naiveté but I was attempting to create a model wherein I select a parcel via prompt (specify an APN), apply a 300' buffer from the selected project parcel, select all parcels within said buffer, export table data of selected parcels and format the table data for mailers (owner's and occupants addressing). This is for our public noticing on projects pursuant to the Brown Act.  If anyone can think of a better way to accomplish this I would be very grateful. Thank you in advance to all of you in this fantastic community.

I can't comment on the specifics of the question only offer an alternative method (Of which there are quite a few).

This could be done with Spatialite or Postgis quite easily and if you wrap it in Python then you can make a little command line tool (or web) to take the APN and return the formatted results.

Prototyping and Verification can easily be done in QGIS.

Enjoy,
Alex
