Our county posts all judgements on their online public records, so a quick search on the website, and there they are.

Seems to me that the "drought panic" will peek this summer and the rain will come later this year. 

Hi @Carl Raines.  

Judgements are good , garnish wages .  

(I suspect that the banks list ones they want to sell with Auction.com, and send the stuff they want to keep to the other trustees, but I don't know that for sure.)Properties are online well in advance, and I don't actually need a Foreclosure Listing subcription to get the facts on their things.Auction.com does a title search for you and posts it online, so one of the biggest obstacles to knowing whether to bid - does this house have additional liens or judgements against it?

When you say "housing claims", do you mean evictions or monetary judgements for money due to a previous landlord, or something else? 

But terms can "cloud " your judgement and value the deal on its own merit. 

I believe that "Final Judgement" is the money that is due to the lender.

Once you get in front of a judge you will likely win a judgement and then you can try and collect. 

If the investment has professional administration, you will have access to the answers to those questions, but also much deeper vetting of the sponsor that will include personal background checks covering things like bankruptcy, judgements, litigation, criminal history, and other red flags related to a sponsor that you would want to avoid, plus other items that investors rarely consider like ensuring that the properties are actually titled correctly, property taxes are paid, and insurance is current.
