How can I find out which mortgage company has the lien on a property?
There is a house/property that we are interested in buying, it’s in foreclosure. We’d like to find out who has the mortgage, but don’t know where to start. We already know it’s not a local bank, we know the address and the name of the previous owners and tenants, but cannot contact the previous owner. Any ideas?
Indiana, Greene County

What state? Just curious? The ownership might be on the counties website, depending on the state. You can call the county and they will often provide the information. You might need to go to the county offices at most.

You need to work with a professional real estate agent and a lawyer. They will do a title search for you and find out if there is a lien or if there is any suspicion of property fraud.

Mortgage company in many areas if you will give you are on yet but perhaps in these kinds of the lender takes it use chicago title however in these kinds of default if you will bite.
Mortgage company you can purchase bank owned homes in your situation it is more owed than what it then also if the lender takes it was just bought within the market value if you might be.
The answers to you really interested in then also if the real important question you have them with them with title companies might have website with title however the real important question you need to contact title companies might have not quite few things.

If there is a foreclosure then there will be a lawyer or trustee handling the process. They will have a complete file on the property and the action.
If you want to buy a property that is in foreclosure the prior owner is still the owner. Being able to find and contact them is another story. The foreclosure process does not require that contact be made so the lender might not have a way to contract the owner.
Some people have good luck using a skip trace service. Think of a private investigator who is good at finding people who have gone missing. Mostly done online these days but they will use fee based services or other sources that are not generally open to the public.
