Where can I go to find out everything about a property?

Where can I go to find out everything about a property?
Such as:
-The owner
-Previous sales
-If there is anything wrong with the property
-Loan balance
-Comps
-Hidden fees, liens, back payments
-etc

I know title companies have this information, but is there a way I can research on my own for little to no money? I know zillow has some information, but it is not enough info to "crunch the numbers" and find out if it's a good deal or not. Any advice?
