Good Evening Bigger Pockets Family,Property Radar allows you to see the estimated loan balance and value of propertiesUnfortunately, it only works for the following states:CaliforniaOregonWashingtonNevada,ArizonaI'm looking to get info on properties outside of those states.We do have access to REISOURCE.COM and TITLEPRO247, and other Title programs,But they only show the initial Trust Deed amount, and don't take into consideration how much of the balance has already been paid of.Does anyone use another software that will enable me to determine estimated loan balances for properties nationwide?

This will enable you to buy more properties and increase your returns.
