I have several questions:
- where can find that information online?
- is there a way I can find information about lien against a certain property?
- what can i do to minimize risk buying a foreclosure property?

Although I am not an expert in this area, I am aware that you may find this information on government websites. For instance, to locate information about the property owner and any liens, visit the website of the County Recorder and look through their Deed of Trust records. Although I’ve read that realtor.com has information as well, I haven’t checked it out. Just watch out for websites that demand payment for lists. These websites provide you with the ability to automate and scrape data into packages that might or might not include the information you’re looking for.

While finding the owner and liens is important, are there any other aspects of researching a property you’d like to discuss?
Zillow is a great resource too for finding information on foreclosure properties. They offer detailed listings including property descriptions, photos, pricing, and occasionally information about liens. It’s a convenient platform to explore foreclosure homes and assess market conditions in different areas.
When looking at buying a foreclosure, reducing risk means doing your homework. Get a professional inspection to check the property, know the local market to see if it’s a good investment, and consider legal advice for any complexities that come with foreclosures.
