UCGal
ParticipantI just noticed a further question about condos…
Condos have the added risk of potentially insolvent HOAs. You’d need to do due dilligence to find out if the HOA was in trouble. If it’s in trouble you can’t get convential financing, after the fact.

ParticipantSD Realtor (or maybe it was sdrealtor) posted about looking up the trustee sales on
http://www.fidelityasap.comYou have to register, but it’s free. You can search by zip code.
For liens – you need to due a little more digging. The best way I’ve figured out is probably NOT the easiest way. If you figure out who owns the property, you can look up to see if there are liens against that person.
I figure out who owns it by plugging in the address to
https://www.sdctreastax.com/ebpp3/(treoul552yv1vx45lay4xyyd)/Start.aspx
Then I take the data harvested from there and plug it into the county recorders grant recording database.
http://arcc.co.san-diego.ca.us/services/grantorgrantee/search.aspx
(Plug in last name/first harvested from the property tax bill.)
If the home is owned by a corp or partnership rather than a person or trust – plug in the corp name.
If it’s owned by a corp, you can sometimes figure out who owns the corp from going to the state of Ca website and plugging in the corp or LLC name.
(I’ve gotten pretty good at scouring public records – I’m in litigation with our former contractor – and am keeping tabs on him and his assets.)
Oh – and if someone has an easier way – I’m ALL ears. My way is a lot of work.

December 3, 2009 at 11:34 AM in reply to: OT: Public service announcement. Your property taxes are due in 10 days #489851Participant[quote=CBad]I like the fact that I can hang on to my money until the last possible second and then pay it online. I’m much better with my money than the County.
Like UCGal, looking at houses around me is funny. Some of the taxes are so tiny and cute I’m like hell, do you want me to get yours while I’m online too? ;)[/quote]
If you pay online with a credit card it costs you 1.88% more. But you can “e-check” it for free. I didn’t bother… I went old school paper check, envelope, and stamp.

ParticipantI have less issue with layaway then just easy credit purchases. With Layaway the item stays in the store till it’s paid off…
Unless they’ve changed things.
I remember as a teenager, (back when dinasaurs roamed the earth), I put a pair of jeans on lay away – then brought in my baby sitting earnings each week to pay it off. After 3 weeks, I’d paid off my new jeans and got to take them home.
When credit cards started being given to anyone with a pulse, layaway disappeared… but now that credit is tighter (as it should be)… layaway is back. At least people have to pay to get the goods.
