boarded up!

[Derek Smith]

I've come across a particular property while I run through the neighborhood that is completely boarded up with trespasser signs posted as well. I checked the county assessor and the place is current on their taxes with no active listing, to my knowledge since I do not have MLS access.

Does this happen? Why would someone abandon the property yet pay the property taxes? Also curious if anyone may know a way of pursuing a way of purchasing the place.

Derek: I'll make you the same offer as Amber in the other thread. Send me the address and I'll check to see what's going on with the property. I have a lot of national data, but it's more complete for CA, AZ and NV.

All you newbies: get yourself an online account with a title companies or subscribe to paid online data services. This stuff takes 2 minutes. That way you don't waste time fantasizing about properties you won't be buying. :)
