How to intervene before bank places tax lien...
I know a friend of the family that inherited his mother's house after her passing away and now, years later, he is on the verge of losing the house due to defaulting on property tax. No tax lien has been placed on the house yet but I believe I'm in a perfect position to capitalize on this before the bank takes action. As a new investor, I don't know what the options would be for me or him. Any advice???

Banks don't place tax liens.....the local property tax government entity does.
