You can go to town hall and look up the leins to see what bank the owner defaulted on. You can try to contact the bank or the attorney listed in the suit - provide them your offer and a letter from your bank or mortgage professional preapproving you. You'll need a good down payment, at least 20% in most cases.

Good luck!!
