Tax delinquent house - Trying to purchase

[Wesley Davis]

So I am in a little bit of a pickle,

My neighbors' house (3/2 in SW Florida) is in really bad condition but would make a great investment opportunity. Here is my predicament. I recently became a real estate agent after covid kicked me out of my last job as an architectural designer. I am renting a room from a friend but would love to invest in the house next door. After looking up the house on the property appraiser website I see they have delinquent on their taxes since 2019. 

I would like to pick up the house with the least amount of personal money possible. This will be my first investment but seems like a great opportunity. Please advise on how you would proceed to acquire the said property with minimal personal investment. I have a construction background so I can do all of the repairs. 

Thank you in advance,

Wes
