Best Answer

Go to a Title Company Like Fidelity or Chicago Title and pay a few dollars to do a full title and lien search on the property. About 50 to 150 dollars. A title search may tell you who has recorded a mortgage on a property, although not necessarily the initial amount or interest rate of the note being secured by the lien, let alone any remaining principle today. About the only way to find out how much a person still owes on their house is to ask them or get permission to ask the lender(s). Why would it matter? Your typical purchase and sale agreement will require that title be delivered free of any such liens, and it is up to the seller to pay off the liens at or prior to closing.
