How do I look up mortgage information in the public records office?

I would like to go to the public records office and find specific mortgage information. For example, what type of mortgage someone has.How do I look up mortgage information in the public records office?
County records will show you the amount borrowed, who borrowed it, who lent it, how long the mortgage is for and any riders (1-4 family housing, Condo or PUD) Legal description and signatures of the secured parties. Dates recorded and dates written. (depending on the state of course)

"Type" probably won't be there.

How to? Go to the website if they have it online or the office and type in the name of the borrower.

Uh...I'm sitting here LOOKING at one I just printed offline. Each STATE is different.......
You don't. There is no public records office holding that information. Please quit bugging people who really don't want to hear from you.How do I look up mortgage information in the public records office?
Yes, I agree with all these answers. The banks can't release information concerning preforeclosures to those involved in short sale investing and real estate investing. So, the average investor has to look for these preforeclosures somewhere else.How do I look up mortgage information in the public records office?
That type of information is NOT available to the public. All you will learn from the records is the name of the Mortgage lender, not the type of mortgage or amount owed.
If the mortgage documents have been recorded you can get a copy of that document at the County Recorder's office.



If the mortgage is for a purchase, that information is SOMETIMES available via the County Assessor's records since new purchases often trigger a re-assessment.
You won't find that. All you'll find is who owns the mortgage.
Every one is wrong here. County records will show on the the deed of trust, the type of loan (FHA, VA, Cov) amount of the loan and who the lender is. I will not show how much owned, just the amount of the mtg at time of purchase.
