Hello all,

I've been looking at homes in the Detroit area for about a year now, hoping to buy my first home. I've found a number of intriguing listings and am hoping some of you might be able to help me find some more resources to find further information to help me in my search. I have found a couple homes that seem "too good to be true", and I worry that there may be liens on the homes. Is there any reliable way to check if there are back taxes or water bills on any particular property? I want to be sure I know what I'm getting myself into. Any direction would be much appreciated.
