General / Re: how to find the owner?

« on: June 27, 2008, 06:00:22 AM »

a title search will only tell me the owner's name, how do i go farther from that? If you make an agreement to buy the property, it specifically states where the deposit is credited (towards final purchase price) can't you you make the  clause say "payable to city of xxx"? Or does it just make no sense since they already stiffed the city and you'll probably have to sue them to complete the deal and they'll have no money for damages?

If you want to try and contact the owner prior to the auction, how would you go about finding them if they don't live at the property? for ex vacant land?
Has anyone been sucessfull at this?
thanks

Under what circumstances will the city postpone the sale? A property I was considering in Toronto has been postponed for thirty days. They wouldn't give out any more info. It was the property on Ridley blvd
