Quit Claim Deed

[Kyle Nelson]

Hello everyone. I have been analyzing a deal and found one. The seller is accepting an offer for $1500 on a duplex. He is an out of state seller and says he doesn't mind taking a loss for tax purposes. The property doesn't have a mortgage anymore and the only liens that came up were for about $4,000 for taxes and other city fees, as well as a $100 utility bill. I realize some things are just to good to be true and there could be more leans or encumbrances on the house, so what am I missing? Where else should I look to see what liens and encumbrances could be on the house? Thank you for any help you can provide. I look forward to becoming a contributing member of the bigger pockets forum.
