@Harley TigrerosYou should be able to find the public notice of the foreclosure that'll give loan amount owed and, if it does go to foreclosure, you can buy it at auction (if it's within the specified time period for public notice)

Depending on your state's requirements, I usually will buy decapitated ugly homes directly from the public with no agent involved and in those situations I have a disclosure that states specifically that the seller is selling the home significantly below market value (I also wrote the the ARV in there so theres no evidence that the seller or buyer didn't know what they were buying/selling).

There is no need to make public the sales price.
