Yes. It’s part real estate research, part snooping. I actually know several of the Poway families who are in preforeclosure, and it was eye opening that families who’d lived in their homes since the 1980s, in very good neighborhoods, had spent the equity out of their homes. As a subscriber to realtytrac.com, I could see the deed and loan history of the properties back to the 1980s.
Foreclosure.com however does not give you the lien history, but updates the NOD to Inactive status when it is paid up.
