Finding loans, owners and maturities in the county record

The public record names every commercial mortgage, and hides almost everything a broker needs next: when it matures, who signed, who is behind the LLC. These guides are how we read it in New York City, Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio, written from the loans we track, with the share of instruments that state each fact.
