Send them an official notice by mail and post one on the house.

The county clerk of court, official records search, will show you all mtg.s on the property.  

The zoning official can tell you but also CCRS may play a role as well.

The net of this was I ended up offering another $5k to bring me up to $150 "take it or leave it" under the threat of the seller walking, which I highly doubted as they needed all proceeds to close on another property they were under agreement on.Bottom line is $150 was accepted in the 11th hour (pretty close to what time I got a signed extension on the appraisal addendum back as it was expiring the day I made the $150k offer), the downstairs unit is listed and being shown, upstairs is being served notice next week and the property  will be "officially" mine Monday!

I am going to the new company but once I get officially "laid off" I want to combine my 401k with my IRAs and invest.

Specifically with FTP files in the Broward County area ( South Florida ) regarding Official Records of Real Estate transactions.  

I have listened to about five of the podcast episodes and I am officially hooked.  

There is no official partnership or any entity in place right now.  

The upside is the city has selected the Master Developer for the 62 Acres of the Park Heights Master Planned development, and the city officials told me they will be extending the project to 84 acres total.

I feel like I could "safely" go with 25-30 on my official offer.
