Try visiting your state's website for governing the real estate entity.  They should have a number to call for grievances.  If you are in California, visit www.dre.ca.gov.  That is definitely illegal and you may have a small window for statute of limitations on this so act quickly.  If you call the lender first, before seeking guidance, they may "call the note" which means that you will have to refinance or pay the loan in full at that point in time.

Try your county Auditor and Recorder.\n\nThe auditor normally has info regarding how much a property has been purchased and what features a property contains, i.e. beds, bths, etc..\nThe recorder will give you auctual documentation of what liens are on a home. Mortgages, 2nds, etc..\n\nIt takes some research, but this public information  is powerful

Each state has an office with a name that is something along the lines of "commissioner of land"...contact that office.  They can put you on a mailing list to receive notices when they are about to have the auctions.\n\nAnother thing you can do is look for pending forclosures in the newspaper.  They have to post it in the newspaper before they forclose.  If it is an old mortgage, call the homeowner and offer to take the note.  They can sign the house over to you and you can either assume the note or refinance to get it into your name and current.  This method was pretty much how I got my house, and the 27 thousand dollars equity that came with it.

If it is of some historical significance you may find something at the historical society, otherwise you are probably out of luck.  You might check at your local city or county building department if there were any recent remodeling or renovations to the house, they may have something close to blueprints.

Ask any realtor.  This information is readily available to them.  The title or deed for the house lists all of the previous owners, what improvements were made (such as when structures on the land were built), and dated records of how much it was sold for.  I believe there is a way to obtain this information from your county's courthouse as well.
