You could check out the county foreclosure auctions. They have a lot of properties listed that could be good investment opportunities for you. 

If you're concerned about the possibility of liens you should be able to get a lien search done in  about 24 to 48 hours. You might also want to call utility companies to see if there are any un-filed liens or large balances, as those won't be on a lien search, call the city to see if there are any zoning issues or unfiled assesments. (Lien searches only check official records at county, so if municipality doesn't file things which happens sometimes you are still on the hook.)

As you know the county only gives you a case number and a date for their foreclosure auctions which leaves you and your staff sifting through 1000's of PDF case files just to find the address of the foreclosure property. Before our service I knew people spending $1,000's each month just to get the list of auctions and all the data on each property put into a spreadsheet. Our service does all that work for you for as little as $13 a month!

You can browse all the auctions by date, bed/bath SQFT, judgements, and all the other PAP specs on one page.

You can do incredible custom searches by anything including specs on the houses, zip codes, city, subdivisions, judgment amounts, dates, and many more options!

The best part of it is anything you see on screen even custom searches can be downloaded to a spreadsheet!

There are too many features to list, just check out the screenshots below!

A title search would help you find information about the debts encumbering the property. Always be sure to do your own Due diligence, and read over the supporting docs of the lien search, and ask questions if you don't understand something. Make sure you understand what exactly the scope of the search is, if they check for just liens & judgement or do they also check the tax status, federal tax lien search etc..

To initially get an idea of the liens against a property you could have a title search done on to give you an idea of the amount of encumbrances the property has on it, but that would only be the first step to making sure you have all the information you would need. 

Doing a title search is a good starting point for researching a potential property investment, but it should be viewed as the beginning of your research process. Always remember to continue looking for additional information that may have been missed to avoid costly surprises.
