If you can't locate the owner of a home that is getting ready to be auctioned off at the courthouse, how can you find out the mortgage balance? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
go to the assessors office for the town, or whatever office issues tax bills, and search the property address. An owner name will be connected to it, then take owner name and address and go to courthouse and pull up records filed against that house, then you should find deeds, mortgages, etc.
The information I had to pay for from our local Title Company called an O & E only shows the amount owed at the time of the recording of mortgages, refinance, judgments and other leins. Nothing current shows up unless it is recorded.
My title company does these searches for me for free, then emails me the results. They just hope that you use them when the time comes to get title insurance and go through closings. No problem!

Do your reports reflect current balances owed on the mortgages and other judgments?
The ones I get only show the original balances at the time of the loan or judgment.
I am almost positive that they are current. The amount listed on the title company's record is, at least on the last two, higher than the figure posted on the county's website. Not tons higher, but higher all the same.

Call a title company, ask for all liens of record on the property, this will have all td's, judgements, tax bills, etc...
