The man had an involuntary judgement against him and spent few years in jail.

The tax lien foreclosure had a winning judgement against the previous owner but had not yet filed the documents for the sheriff sale request.

Even those were at or above the judgement amount.

You dont have to rely on your own judgement, bring some friends over and ask them for their opinion.

This may not be NYS specific, but I'm looking to invest here so I've been going to the auctions at the Brooklyn courthouse.My question is: When you buy a property at the courthouse auction, the paperwork talks about a mortgage balance, judgement, tax lien, etc.

@Oraude Boston  clearing title is the fun part... liens, judgement, code violations are not uncommon when we are all out there digging up deals that are off market.     

I Went down to city and county to find out what I needed to do to file a judgement on him.

I would be extra cautious about verifying that you really want to own this property and not let the "great deal falling in your lap" cloud your better judgement about the real value of this property.

I went to the mediation today and I was told the landlord received a judgement order for $800 against me.

However, the judgement/upset amount published in the sheriff's website is $853,000, and the judgement posted in the newspaper is higher at $990,000 - significantly higher than the open obligations I found.I've done a thorough job about checking the title at the county clerk's and statewide judgment database.What could I be missing here?
