Title insurance on a tax sale property

[Christine Snyder]

Anyone have experience with buying tax sale properties? Here in KC they require a 12 mth challenge period. Title companies won't write title insurance until challenge is over.  So, if I can't get title insurance do I just sit on the property for a year?  Don't really want to do that due to private investor involvement and don't want to pay interest for a year on the money used to purchase the property. Suggestions?  Please and thanks!
