Selling Hud’s. I am confused. If a person buys a Hud with cash, is it not true that the government has already searched the property for liens. Do I have to get titile committment?

No, just close your eyes and hope that
things workout.

You’re actually saying you trust “the government”?

Hope everything turns out ok.

Every city has a place where the public can go to search for information on property. Property records are maintained at either the county courthouse, county recorder, city hall or another city or county department. Many public offices are staffed by knowledgeable personnel ready to help you find property deeds and encumbrances.You can check federal court records to find out if a seller has filed for bankruptcy or go through county court records to see if a seller is involved in litigation.However, there are easier ways to find information.Once you find the owner of record, if you don’t have an address or the person has moved, you can order reports online to find that missing person. These companies charge a fee. You can also search at your public library.
