Nick B. Foreclosure from a second position

lost a property purchase because of thissecond position is toughif the bank or someone has liens on the property that are not showing up on the fire sale(auction) price listing and you get the property, the first position still has control of the property ie liens ect...you will either have to pay them off or loose the propertyI was fortunate about the deal even though I won the bid, lost my 1k but found that the property was not only in a trust but was also upside down another 10k by liensmake sure you do really good research, I would hate for someone to position themselves thinking they are going to make a cool 10k then find out they are going to have to pay a cool 25k because they got into a note that had a lien after they signed on the lineenjoy
