Thankfully it's been a while since I was in housing court, and I've only been twice, but I recall it was less than 6 weeks total.Of course, 'winning' is only half the battle, since the tenant now has an eviction on their record and won't get an apartment from any responsible landlord.

Locally getting some of the public record data is impossible to get anywhere outside of the MLS.  

In a short sale or Deed in Lieu, however, the liens have to be addressed & dealt with in some way during the transaction.Do a title search and clear all of the liens by having the borrower clear them before your transaction or get the lien amounts credited to you so you can pay them off post transaction.We generally pay the full amount of the net cash for keys amount when the borrower vacates the property & leaves it in broom swept condition.Yesterday, we were surprised when a town refused to provide the transfer stamp, which we needed in order to record the Deed.

The owner died long before the notice of pendency was filed and I cannot find any probate records to determine heirs.

I see that you had them installed from HD, are those the cordless ones?

@Gary DezoysaRealistically you won’t have to worry about contacting the borrower because the chances of finding abank willing to engage with a potential note buyer where they can’t verify his track record is almost nil.

You cannot find this same information by looking at printouts from credit reporting companies and not all people with criminal records are bad people.

So I would say just show you know what you’re talking about and are willing to go the extra mile to help them succeed eventually your record will speak for itself!
