<p>Where can one find a reliable list of black holes that have been discovered/observed so far, directly or indirectly, along with their properties, like mass, spin, etc.?</p>

Stellar, supermassive? I don't think there is a single catalogue. What does Google show you?

@RobJeffries Catalogue of stellar black holes would work fine. A Catalog of Stellar-Mass Black Holes in X-ray Binaries is available when one does a Google search. I wanted a comprehensive list which also include those detected by other methods, like gravitational wave, etc..

The largest catalog of gravitational wave events ever assembled has been released by an international collaboration that includes Penn State researchers. Reference: “GWTC-3: Compact Binary Coalescences Observed by LIGO and Virgo During the Second Part of the Third Observing Run” by The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration and the KAGRA Collaboration, 5 November 2021, General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology.

The [Wikipedia list](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_black_holes) given by @username_2 in a comment contains [this external link](http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/relativity/bhctable.html). This compilation by Wm. Robert Johnston has not been updated since 2004, but contains both stellar and supermassive black holes, along with some parameters (coordinates, distance, mass...).
