A local title company will, for small fee, anywhere in the country,(free in some states) pull down some information for you showing who's in title, what mortgages or liens exist against the property, where the tax statements are being sent.
The local utility companies will tell you what the deal is on the water, electric and gas bills, or if they're currently turned on or off, and who they show as being responsible for them.
