I am looking at a vacant property in my target neighborhood and from what county records indicate, the subject property has been used as collateral for the owner to purchase their primary residence. 

Trying to research as much as i can before bidding on a property.I have access to public recorded documents, such as mortgages on properties, however on properties that have multiple mortgages to the same person on the same house through the same lender, i cant seem to determine which lien holder position is foreclosing (1st mortgage or 2nd mortgage). 

The third component that makes a good deal FOR ME is the potential for appreciation, both forced and organic.

I've created my SOP (Standard Operating Procedures) for the organization and have lots of perspective from the stakeholder experience of a renter and lessons learned from the PM company owners.

I have been looking at county records to find leads and my question is how do I know if the record is still current and active?

Hopefully for public records that eviction stays but maybe the judgement amount can be recorded as satisfied.

.- no title seasoning on cash out refinances unlike FHA which has 12 months of title seasoning after purchase before you can use market value value or conventional which requires 6 months after acquisition (this applies to CO refinances where you used financing initially to purchase not DFE or delayed financing exception which is an all cash purchase and there is no lien/deed recorded on the property at the time of close), This becomes very handy for  creative RE entrepreneur once you learn how to force equity through adding value to properties you can use VA's no title seasoning advantage to increase the speed at which you move from deal to deal quicker than Conv/FHA- no self sufficiency rule when owner occupying 3-4 unit properties which FHA has (a rule that makes buying 3-4 unit FHA properties in high cost areas nearly impossible) so this a huge plus- use of rental income or other peoples income (OPI) to help you qualify on your 2-4 unit VA purchase (FHA and Conv does allow this too)There's a lot more you can do to optimize your mortgage planning from an investors perspective.With the introduction of the 2018 Tax Cuts, you can structure your taxes strategically to not only greatly reduce the tax impact but also remain bankable to most money sources.

I am trying to record the sale of a rental property in Quicken HB&R 2018 version. 

PenFed is your best bet, and if you don't qualify by military connections, you can qualify by joining a military support organization (through a small donation)

After scouring records and search engine sites for other possible leads even children so that I could execute a affidavit of heirship yet it all seems to point back to this man.
