Behind on Taxes (newbie)

[Ryan Gartley]

I'm new to looking/buying properties that are behind on taxes. There are a few properties (which seem to be in good shape) in my neighborhood that are behind on there taxes. How should I approach them with a deal? I have researched and found their contact information just need to know how to approach them and how to structure a deal. Since I'm new to this area would I be able to get a mortgage on a place that is behind on taxes? Thanks for any advice!
