What an Iowa record includes
Each record is one foreclosure case, folded from every printing of its notices, with these fields wherever the published notice states them. A field the notice left out says so rather than showing a guess.
- The owners the suit names, with their last known mailing address
- Property address where the notice prints it, else the legal description
- Parcel ID, where the notice prints one
- Court, county and case number
- The lender or association suing, and the type of foreclosure
- First published, the clerk's date and the date the owner must answer by
- A deceased-owner flag where the suit names heirs or an estate
- The plaintiff's attorney, with phone and email where printed
- Daily or weekly alerts for the counties you watch
- CSV export of a county or a state, on Pro and Business
How many cases each list holds is public, and the newest five on each list show the lender, city and case number. The owners, their addresses, the property address and the rest of the list open with an account. See a complete sample record or compare plans.
Working an Iowa pre-foreclosure
Catch the suit when it is served
4 cases in Iowa first published a notice this week. An alert brings each new one to you the morning after it runs, months before any sale could be set.
Check the property and the equity
Look the parcel up in the county's property records, by parcel ID, address or legal description. Compare what is owed, where you can tell, with what the home would sell for. Equity is what gives the owner choices.
Reach the owner, plainly and kindly
The owner can still sell, reinstate, refinance, short-sell or hand back the deed in lieu. Write a short letter to the mailing address on the record; say who you are and what you can offer, and never pressure.
Know the clock
2 owners here must answer the suit within a week. An answer is not a sale: a judicial foreclosure takes months, and the owner keeps the title until a sale is held.
The terms on a record, defined: the pre-foreclosure glossary. Not legal advice; follow your state’s rules on contacting homeowners in foreclosure.
Try any plan free for 3 days
Checkout asks for a card and nothing is charged for 3 days. Cancel from your account page before then and you pay nothing.
