Ok, but how do we common folk get access to this info?

Time to buy a house yet? Lol

Be greedy when others are fearful. Any way to find out situations where you have a flipper in a bind with hard money loan that is coming due? How do we look up hard money lenders in our local deed records for their deed of trusts so we can track the loan maturity dates?

In this high interest rate environment, it also seems only possible to port your mortgage as a way to "keep" the lower rate. Just speaking from US perspective, is it not allowed in Canada for seller financing options or assuming of owner's mortgage?
