Tax abstractor recc'd for tax deed auction

[Bonnie Anglin]

Hi fellow BP'ers, 

I'm going in on a JV with a fellow investor and we're both newbies on tax deed auctions. We're bidding in Michigan where all prior liens are excused in a tax deed auction, with limited exceptions such as IRS and environmental liens. Nevertheless, we are doing our due diligence to make sure the property title can be insured after we buy it at auction and that the title can be quieted for resale.

I'm able to do property title searches on the county website, but also wanted to work with an affordable and reputable tax abstractor or real estate paralegal who can help us. Any recommendations?  

best regards, 

Bonnie
