Deed Search and Tax Foreclosure

James Ritter

Hello Everybody,

I am still really new to real estate investing and have a few questions.

I found a property that has not paid taxes since 2003 in NYC. I would happily pay all the back taxes if I were to get the property under contract. Before I go searching for the next of kin (Owner deceased) I did a search and found that the city court entered a judgement to start foreclosure proceedings in 2012. Supposedly it is called Rem Foreclosure. Now from my research it seems that you still have up to two years since the Deed has been recorded under the citys name to reclaim the property. The system (Acris) lets you search document history on a property and I still do not see the deed issued to the city. So my question is..... Does anybody know of a really good online Deed search service that I can use? If not, where do I go to see who the deed is under right now so I can make sure im not wasting my time if the City does indeed own the property now. 

Thanks guys!
