Elusive Single-Family Home

[Mitchell Welle]

First, a bit of background. I’m a young guy who’s renovating a house I’m going to move into and eventually buy from a mentor to house hack. I’ve noticed the house next door is vacant. The county clerk info says it is owned by an estate. Tried multiple ways of getting in contact with the estate to no avail. Yesterday, I saw a gentleman entering the property so I approached him and was able to take a look into the home. He told me it was actually owned by a bank and the mortgage was just sold to Rushmore Loan Management Services. I also noticed a decent mold problem in the basement. I got approval to make a cash offer for the deed & keys. The question I have is: is there a way for me to figure out how much the note was sold for and if the mold problem is noted so I can make an educated offer? Any and all responses are appreciated. Thanks!
