PreForeclosure, how exatly does it work

[Juan Perez]

So my question is this, let's say you find a property in preforeclosure, how can you find out how much is owe on the property and I'm assuming you as the buyer have to pay the remaining balance to pay off the loan? If I do wholesale I'm guessing I will need to know how much is owed so I can guestemate a good deal? I'm just lost on this one just starting out and not sure on how or what to purse either in wholesale or just buying in general
