Finding total amount owed on a pre-foreclosure property

[Sam Brooks]

Hello everyone my name is Sam and I'm beginning my wholesale journey in the New Orleans area. I have a few questions specifically about pre-foreclosure properties that are coming up on an auction sale.

1. How do I figure out the total amount owed, including writ, liens, violations, remaining mortgage, etc?

2. Does that amount get paid at closing?

3. Does a buyer need to wait for that amount to clear with the county/parish before the home can be purchased?

Any info about wholesaling pre-foreclosure properties will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Sam
