Chris that is interesting.. I guess my courthouse is behind the times since they cant filter out much.

The one list that I did get is a notice of trustees sale list. Tell me if this sounds correct. I live in an area with thirty five thousand people. The NOTS list only has ninety names on it. Does that sound small to you guys?

Once I filtered out all of the higher dollar houses and went after the ones that are sixty five thousand and below I only had twelve available places to mail to.

Wheelhouse thanks for the info.

Tell me why it is that I read on other threads about going to the courthouse (treasurer) to get this info.

So I spoke to a title company and they never heard of doing that, I went back to the court house and the guy said he is mailing out tax statements and couldn't help me until February. Some luck I guess. I dont know how a service could get me a list if I cant get is locally.

Well first thing this morning I ran up to the courthouse and told them about the bank loan. The courthouse employee said that if I buy the house nowt hat the bank could come after me and if I wait untill the tax sale that the bank would be out of the loop.

Ok here is the deal. I have been looking at my first tax sale deals. I got a list from the courthouse and started looking at the houses over the last couple of weeks. I came upon one house and it turned out that I know the owner. She holds title to the house because her son signed it over to her a year back for a dollar. The thing is her son still has a loan with a bank on that house. But the courthouse told me that when a home comes up for tax sale that they are loan free. She said that the guy from the bank who had her son sign the home over to the her was underhanded and it doesn't seam correct..

So what do you think about all of this. The courthouse said it is free and clear but she is saying the her son still has a loan. If this deal is workable I need to move fast as the tax sale is coming up this month.

Thanks Steve

I think that a little cash under the table to show appreciation would be in line.
