But that gives you a list of all recorded liens and judgments associated with the owner. But the owner could own multiple properties so you can’t assume all the docs/deeds/trustdeeds etc are associated with the property in the association. Most docs can be ordered from the recorders office for $3 each. ($7 for certified).
You can’t make any determination till you look at the individual liens/trust deeds. Here’s an example: I’m in litigation with someone and was checking to see if there were assets – he had a few deeds and trust deeds – one went into NOD status more than a year ago. But when I ordered the doc I found it was a timeshare… so not nearly as relevant as his primary home asset.
It’s time vs money. You can get a good idea through small charges per doc ordered from the county – but it’s time consuming. If your HOA has a lot of people delinquent – this might turn into a big endeavor.
Have you asked your local title company how much they’d charge?
