Where to find more information

[Daniel H.]

There is a house near mine that I looked at purchasing a few years back that is now in pre-foreclosure. I looked up the owner's name on the city website for property values. Where can I find out more info? Is there a way to find out how much equity is in the house and/or how much they currently owe?

I would like to contact the owner and see if he wants to sell. I don't think anyone is currently at the property.
