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

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

donflips -- Thanks for the motivation.Yeah, I found out from public records that this house is owned by Washington Mutual and yesterday their shares took a dive of 17% in addition to the annoucement that NY attorney general may bring charges against them for pressurizing the apprisial companies to inflate home prices.I just keep looking for any reduction in price and sadly the place where I live there ain't that many reo which sit for more than 4-5 months.

I assume there is no prohibition or restriction on partnering with others ( like friends and acquaintances) so long as they are not solicited publicly.

Plus a lot of space I would assume.John Corey

The book helped me quit my old job at a public library and plunge whole-heartedly into real estate.

the trust is set up through a Notario (Notary Public) which is determined by the lender/broker you finance with.As soon as I can I will send you an PM.

At the same time the bank might want to avoid publicity.

Assuming you are not an agent there are no public sites or lists that I know of.

I think most others here would agree when they say that someone is in foreclosure.In the case of the NOD to auction window, the notices have to be filed publicly for all to see.
