Hi I was about to buy an expensive house at the auction but found in the city records office a deed of trust on the property, looks like a home equity line
if i bought the house as i understand it, I would only pay the bidding price? + back taxes is this the case always
I do not want to be stuck with buying the home and having to pay a second or any line of credit the previous owner had open
thank you my first home

Hi johnjon!
Welcome to forums!
I think the auction from which you were planning to purchase the property was held because the owner of the property was not able to pay off the debts and was at a default. In order to recover the debts, the trustee had organized the auction. As far as I know, you will have to pay the bidding price and the taxes. I don't think you will be inheriting the loan. However, I will recommend you to have a talk with the officials at the auction and your legal adviser before purchasing the property.
Feel free to ask if you have further queries.
