[QUOTE="Ethan N, post: 3240458, member: 29267"] In the county this house is in, the treasurer immediately deeds the property to the winner. The treasurer is done with it at that point and it’s up to you to have the deed filed. If there are state or federal tax liens, won’t they show up in a search of the county clerk’s records? I believe there’s a state law that requires liens and tax warrants to be filed in the county a property is in for them to be valid against that property, but these days there are so many exceptions to everything I don’t know if that’s always how it’s done. Thanks for the advice. I value it from anyone who has experience with this kind of thing. I don’t think have any illusions about how much work it would be (though you don’t know what you don’t know). I usually double or triple any time estimate for any project, depending on unknowns and uncontrollable factors. I expected it to be a work in progress for years and learning along the way is part of the fun and value in it for me. The long-term plan is new construction done mostly myself, so I’m going to have to learn a lot of it sooner or later. I refuse to take out a mortgage and I’m never going to have the cash to pay someone else to build a house for me, so that’s the way it’s going to be. Neighbors described the guy as a nice, peaceful person who just has addiction problems, but I’ve definitely had concerns about having any dealings with him or his property. Awesome. That’s some good information. I think what I was curious about in this case was how to be sure if there actually is a tenant or not, legally. I would guess the house being boarded up for the last couple of years is pretty good evidence there’s no tenant though. [/QUOTE]
