Hello All, There is this property in my neighborhood that is totally vacant and the owner isn't doing anything with it. It's an eye sore! But I see potential! The owner is absent. Is there a way that the government can give the property to someone else who wants it? Of course for a nominal fee. The property is just sitting there and nobody cares about it but I want it! But funds are low...just curious!! I know something of tax deeds...where if the owner doesn't pay taxes, and someone else does, that deed can become that persons property after a while...can I use this? And how would I be able to do this?i
