Auction due diligence
Foreclosure title research examines the recorded ownership chain, the foreclosing interest, junior and senior claims, taxes, judgments, and other encumbrances that may affect what a winning bidder actually receives. Which interests survive varies by sale type, lien priority, notice, and local law.
A low bid can become expensive when surviving claims, occupancy, redemption rights, municipal charges, or title defects delay possession, financing, or resale. Research should happen before the bid ceiling is set, not after the auction.
Foreclosure procedures differ by state, county, and sale type. Use TitlePin's state guides and public-record report to identify issues, then verify the current docket, sale terms, tax status, recorded instruments, and controlling law with the relevant official source.

Use the Standard Report for recorded title, ownership, mortgage, lien, tax, and risk findings. Add the separate Intelligence Report if you also want equity, scoring, owner, distress, and market analysis.
