When is it too late?

[Jon Mark]

I have interest in a property that is tax delinquent and up for auction next month on Feb. 6th

I found it on the city website

Hypothetically speaking, and assuming the deal made sense, is it too late to try and "wholesale" the property by helping them find a cash buyer?  Will the city still take the back taxes? Will the bank still accept cash on what they owe?

Thanks
