Driving for dollars - Question about property status
I was out driving for dollars today over my lunch hour. I was in a neighborhood with home prices in the $100k to $125k range. I found one house that was obviously vacant. It had an overgrown yard and notices posted to the front door.
I went back and looked the property up online. The owner listed is not at the same address as the property, but is an individual. However, when I looked up the property tax information online it says "This property is subject to tax liens, bankruptcy, foreclosure, or special handling". It looks like the taxes were paid in 2014 but not 2015 and nothing for 2016. All taxes prior to 2014 show $0 amount due and $0 paid.
What would you guys do with this property? Is it worth sending a letter to the owner?
