| My house is paid for. I need to prove it to someone for a business reason. Does anyone know how I prove it? I thought that I show the deed, but the deed does not list who carries the mortgage, so I have no idea how to prove its paid. Thanks |

| 1) You could get a credit report which would show no outstanding mortgage. 2) I don't know if the Wake county web site has this but in other counties you can on line search for liens/deeds against the property. If there was a mortgage there would be a lien. I have used this in other counties to look at forclosed homes to see how many mortages are out on the home. |

If any are turned up you can ask the lender(s) to provide proof of lien settlement. btw -- any business venture that needs you to pledge / prove your home is free and clear is almost certainly one to steer well clear of... |

| Yeah I know, dont worry about me. I didnt want to say the exact reason here, because people have seen me post other things before. I have to show I dont have a mortgage to qualify for an apartment I am goingto rent, so they know I am not also paying a mortgage so they know I have enough to pay for the apartment.

| Can you pull up your county tax records ? It may show no mortgage. |

| Why should you have to prove you have no mortgage? That is asking you to prove a negative. If you state you have no mortgage, it is very easy for them to verify that. That's like asking a job applicant if he ever had a felony conviction and if he answers no, asking him to prove it . |

| The decalarations page of your homeowners insurance will show no mortgagee. This has been acceptable documentation to underwriters that a property is owned free and clear. |

Thanks If the house is paid for then it wont show who carries the mortgage there is none its paid for #1. your mortgage company should have filed a statement in local county clerks office saying the mortgage was satisfied. #2. write or call the mortgage company and have them send you a letter stating such. |

| In most jurisdiction the burden is NOT on the lender to file documents stating the lien is satisfied -- it is up to the borrower to have that recorded. A title search while often show old liens, it is up to the title search company to notify the borrower about those and then they have to track down the lender (or the firms that took over the lender...) to get proof of settlement. |

Many employers require you submit fingerprints to the state and get a response incidating no criminal record. Some require you to go to local PD and get a clearance. |
