Balance Due On Mortg On Short Sale
I was wondering if any one could give me a pointer or two on how to find out the balance due on a mortgage that was just published in the paper as a default. (The balance was not published in the legal notice.) I just called the local recorder and they told me that they only record values when the mortgage is first established. Should I contact the owner first and then get a letter from the owner allowing me to talk to the mortgage company? (I am in the chicagoland area if that can make a difference in my voyage.)
Thanks for you help!
The mortgagee won't disclose any information without the mortgagor's written authorization. Unless, you were interested in purchasing the mortgage from the mortgagee in which case the mortgagor isn't even involved.
