Online Auction and Lien Question
I am looking at bidding on a house that is on an online auction. The bank did a title search which revealed several liens on the property totaling $146,000. The title search states that all liens have to be paid to get clear title. If the house sells for less than $146,000 will I have to pay off the liens to get clear title or will the bank have to make up the difference?

The liens which are junior to the one foreclosing should drop off. Any senior liens will remain including tax liens.
