: I am interested in buying a property at its Trustee Sale/Auction, but I am concerned about acquiring a full and clean title, without liens and encumbrances.
: How do I guard against a "clouded" title? Is a title search the best way to protect myself? Is it necessary? How do I get a title search performed? How much does it cost?

The best way is to learn how to do a title search & do it yourself at the Recorders Office. (That's what I do in LA & Ventura County)
You could have a title company do it, or have lotbook.com do it for $125.00 if the property is in California. You may not be the winning bidder at the sale anyway, so I would save my money & do it myself.
