How to do a Lien seach? Newbie found an inexpensive foreclosure

[Katerina McKnight]

Hi,

This is the first property that I am analyzing for real and don't see how to do a Lien search.

There is a very, very inexpensive foreclosure auction near a University in Northern California. The auction is in a few days. This is Butte county, about 2 hours from my home. I found the Butte County Assesor's web site, but which report do I need to see what Liens exist against the property?

This 3 bedroom 1 Bathroom Single Residency house was sold in foreclosure a year ago. The neighborhood has houses at a much higher value than the auction price.

Also, after I figure out about Liens, what is my next step in analyzing a foreclosure sold at auction?

Thanks!!
