Foreclosure auction

[Jim B]

Hi
My name is Jim, I am a newbie tryin to learn about foreclosures. If I am in the wrong forum, please direct me to the correct place.
.
I am interested in buying foreclosure property. I was told I could be respnsible for past loans or monies over & above the auction price. How do I find out what is owed on a property above the auction price, without going to a title company & paying their $150.00 fee
:lol:
