Bid On House Subject to 1st mortgage... Advice Needed (Ohio)

John Perry
Posted

I bid on what turned out to be a a 2nd mortgage in Ohio. The house is worth around $300k. I paid 258K at auction. Looking through the court records I can see that the 2nd mortgage was awarded ~100k. There are around ~145k in excess funds which I assume go to the owner not me or the existing debt. How bad is my damage. I don't have much cash left to pay the first mortgage, in fact I don't even know how much debt there is on the first.. 

IF anyone has any advice to minimize damage, or a contact to call please let me know. My primary concern is figuring out how much debt is left on the first.
