How can you find liens on real estate?

In: Liens, Real Estate, Real Estate Buying and Selling, Real Estate Investing, How-To [Edit categories]

Answer:

You would need to have a title insurance company issue a title report on the property. That would tell you of any liens or other issues with the property's title. You can check yourself (by using the records at your county courthouse) but you might want the security of knowing that a title report issued by a bona fide title company is guaranteed to be accurate.
