Pre-foreclosure question

I am new to the investing world.

I found a house on foreclosures.com and am interested in making an offer on the property. The auction is supposed to be held on July 1st but I was to try to get it via short sale before then. How can I find how much the owners owe on the property and if the property has an liens against it? The home is located in Middlesex County, MASS. I checked the county registry of deeds website but couldn’t find anything on the home.

Thanks.

You could contact a title company that you work with on your properties. They will help you when you have a business connection with them.

You did good by checking public records.

YOu could:
check the white pages
mail a letter and see if a return address comes back

YOu do not have much time to do a short sale. You may want to just run a title search and buy the property at the sheriff sale. Some attorney’s are starting to put REO prices on at the sale!
Good Luck.

Market timing is right. Buy it as an REO if you can.
