Bank could not find records of ownership despite what I provided for them.

The junior bank, however RECORDED its mortgage before the senior bank.

If the project was approved by the town that means it is public record and essentially is common knowledge.

They obviously operate where there are few records.

Assuming that is correct a foreclosure is a judicial action so there should court records that are mostly public.Speculating...I suspect a deal was done for the note or the auction was called off by the lender.

Is there a place to go for public records and what exactly am i looking for.

I'm up here in Chicago buying, tending to the club which I'm in the process of installing an associate organizer who lives here, and working on a JV that's a big real estate investing event.I used to post here awhile back, but due to some issues I took a long hiatus and let my old username (which was my real name: Paul Strauss) go.

Thanks for the suggestion . . .I've fallen off on organizing the FAQ in a big way, sadly, as I've been busy with other stuff.

Other than holding a real estate license from the state or being a member of the Realtor organization there is no 'certification' that is going to be well recognized and of value.Any group can offer a 'certificate'.

I've looked at the official public records in Travis and Bastrop counties, but can't find any NODs.
