How to identify mortgage holder of a property

[Kevin Tran]

I have a new client who identified a home in foreclosure that they'd like to purchase as a primary residence.  I called up Fannie Mae and they located the property in their system but said that they do not have ownership of the property.  Can someone tell me how to locate the mortgage holder of a property to inquire about purchasing it?  I've looked at the county appraisal district records as well as the tax office records.  Nothing about the mortgage holder there.
