Urgent: Buying Tax Deed properties, Attorney/Title Co Needed, Fl

[Anastasia S.]

Hi BP friends,

I desperately need your help. After learning about tax sales and doing due diligence I found two properties I want to buy at an online auction a week from now. 

1. On the 1st property (vacant land, raw), there are multiple HOA and IRS liens. I have the list of liens on a title search but they don't specify the amount. I will be calling HOA tomorrow and hopefully find out the numbers. For the IRS Iien, I'm not sure if I can get this information online and in time. The property belongs to a PLLC "as trustee under that certain land trust". I looked up the PLLC and it's a criminal law firm, which is another scary part.

2. The second property (SFH, occupied) belongs to Mr. John Smith's heirs, the owner is dead, and perhaps no formal probate has been done on his estate. Therefore the notice of the upcoming tax deed sale was sent to "John Smith's Heirs" and did not have a name on it. So there is a chance the sale will be overturned.

I'm in Florida and have not been able to find a RE attorney/title company to help me - they are either too busy or don't work with auctions. I would greatly appreciate any input or recommendations on how to pursue the deals.

I'm also open to paid mentorship/training/education on tax deeds if you have experience with this. Feel free to DM me. 

Thank you all in advance!

@Anastasia S do you belong to your local REIA? That, or a local REI group on Facebook have been a great source of investor-friendly resources like Title Agencies, attorneys and accountants when I've needed one. Both of those situations sounds complex enough that you'd want professional help to get them done, and done right so that you don't end up with a bad deal.
