Look for a loan officer who has years of experience, a senior officer, not a 24 year old out of college who has VP on a name plate.

If in city limits you will have city and county taxes.Make sure that the property you are considering buying does not have a senior exemption making taxes low or that they won an appeal that is fixing to go back up.Look for special assessments and for the city and county what the mill rate has been trending at (going up, staying flat, or decreasing and by how much each month as a percentage).The assessors could have been using low values as well the last few years but with things rising in many markets they will want to reassess to get more money flowing into the county and city coffers.Usually you can look up to sometimes 5 to 10 years worth of bills and assessments online with the county and city tax assessor websites if they are urban and suburban.If it is rural they might not have that info online.

The lien or mortgage that is oldest is the "senior" lien, and gets first priority in a foreclosure.

I'll dive deeper into the title search results this evening to ensure that there are no additional mortgages that would not have been cleared at foreclosure (e.g. senior lien to the foreclosed note).Biggest unknown right now is figuring out how to get the documents properly drawn up and recorded.

Such classes or materials are given by finance attorneys or senior examiners and compliance officers, they won't be very effective if the instructor has just been a mortgage or commercial broker or loan officer with their opinions.
