I’m interested in a piece of property (to live in). The house has been empty since last Oct. The property is still in the homeowners’ name. The house has 3 liens on the property - I do not know how much. I talked to the 3 interested parties and no one I spoke to has any idea of the status - it has not gone to the sheriff for the foreclosure process as of today (I called to find out). I do know that the property (within the last 2 weeks) has had the grass cut and the property has been entered and a lock box placed on the property. But none of the 3 interested parties knows anything about that either. The only thing we were told is that the house will! go through the foreclosure process.
- What would be the best way to obtain control of the property could a quick deed work and if so what are the concerns are there?
- How can I find out how much is owed on the property for each of the lien holders?
- Even though we are told the house will go through foreclosures - If I can get an authorization to release info form signed - in most cases would the lien holders entertain a short sale offer?
Thanks,
tew
