Found a Property Trying to Buy

[Matthew Cabic]

Hey everyone, 

So, I am trying to buy my first property and have been looking on and off the market. I found a property in my neighborhood that is in rough shape. I was able to find out who the owner is and that they are in fact delinquent on their taxes (confirmed through the county tax records) and in a hurry to get out. I was also able to chat with a neighbor who happened to be outside when I drove by. They told me that the owner is still around and back and forth moving their stuff out. 

My question is - now that I have found this property and confirmed they are in a situation where I'm assuming they would like to get rid of it, or face foreclosure. What steps do I take next? 

Thanks,
