What many real estate investors do when they are looking to help someone that is having trouble paying their mortgage, and find a real estate deal of course, is look through the list of Lis Pendens and attempt to contact the people to see if they are looking to get out of their situation.

These listings indicate that a legal action has been initiated, the outcome of which may affect the title of the property.

In Mahopac, the following properties received notice from the lender that an action was filed with the courts.  This is all public information.
