Need help reading a title report
Following some advice I just received, I'm trying to learn how to read title reports/do the searches myself. This is hardly a search (in this case it will likely take a physical trip to the courthouse which is about to happen), but I am curious why there's a difference:
Here's a snapshot from the auction.com title report:
and here is the legal notice in the local newspaper:
I see there's a lien from 2007 for $16,270. According to the paper, there was a deed of trust executed in 2015. Do these different dates represent when the loan was made, and when they went into foreclosure/got underwater on their mortgage?
I'm wanting to buy this house at auction, and doing my best due diligence to ensure there isn't more than one lien against the property. I don't want to throw my hands up and say, "it's all Greek to me" but I must admit, I am a bit confused.
Followup question, I assume having these document numbers will speed up my search at the courthouse?
