Auction Properties & Title/Mortgage

[Grayson Gladu]

Hi,

When purchasing a house at auction from an HOA foreclosure or a 2nd place loan foreclosure, what is the best way to find the payoff amount for the 1st place mortgage? Is there a database that houses this information? Previously, I've been looking at the deed and creating an amort schedule to estimate but trying to speed up this process.

Thanks in advance,

Grayson
