Advice for Searching for Leins

[Zinna Eze]

Hello all. I am new to the RE industry. I've decided I wanted to focus on Pre-Foreclosure, Subject-To deals.

My questions are:

1) Other than a Title Company/ RE attorney, what other websites/resources can be utilized to find out if there are leins on a property?

2) How does one manage to be cost-effective when utilizing a Title Company to look for leins? I know I'd be seeking out many title searches and see this as being very costly.

Thank in advance

My father had success finding leins on properties. I think this is a useful piece of power to have when negotiating for a home.

Check the county assessor. They are usually listed on there in some place of the property's information.

He would find a lein on a foreclosing home and say "I'll pay your lein if you'll sell to me for 'x'". They just want to get out of the weeds and the people who have done work there just want to get paid. 

Good luck
