Texas Warranty Deed Vendors Lien and online Auction.

Texas Warranty Deed Vendors Lien and online Auction.

San Antonio, TX · Member since 2018 · 17 posts · 8 votes

I have registered for my first online auction and found a property that has a vendors lien.  If a lender has a warranty deed vendors lien listed on the tax assessors site and it is being auctioned as a bank owned property, would the winning bidder be responsible for the outstanding vendor lien?  How can I find out how much the vendors lien is?  I would also be grateful for any information that I could learn more about online auctions.

Thanks for your help.

    You can usually ignore vendor's lien Not a separate loan from what is secured by deed of trust. Technical reasons for why lenders want the vendors lien anyways.

    Thank you for your quick response Ethan.  That is a relief.  How can I find out if there are any other liens on the property or would they all be listed at the tax assessors office?

    Would need to run a lien search, you may be able to do some of that yourself but I would pay a title company to do it.

    I tried to call a title company but they said it is taking 2 weeks and online auction starts tomorrow.  How would I go about doing my own search?

    Your profile looks very well versed.  I am also interested in finding a CPA in Texas that specializes in real estate, cost segregation, solo 4o1k, tax strategies and  i.e. Agusta loophole.   I would appreciate any recommendations.
