Finding Deals / Finding Info

[Justin Jarmon]

So I am looking for and at deals. But I have come across some information that I would like to know, and cant find where to get the info. I thought some of the brain trust on here could help.

1. Where can I find what is owed on a house? Outstanding mortgage value? 

2. Where can I find if someone is delinquent on taxes or payments? 

I am looking at distressed properties and these thoughts always come up. I feel like if I know some of this info I may assess deals differently. So can I find this info anywhere?
