About these records. A foreclosure posting is a notice that a sale may happen, not that it did. A lawsuit is an allegation, and a Chapter 11 petition does not mean a property will be lost. Loan figures are the amounts stated in each record (CMBS balance at the last report, original loan amount in a notice), never estimates. Federal bankruptcies and lawsuits are placed by the federal district that holds them. Individuals are never listed. Full sources on the Distress Radar.
