Thanks for the info!  The current owner is listed as a financial company in Michigan.  According to the tax records, this company has paid taxes on the property for the past couple of years, so I'm wondering if perhaps they purchased it at the tax sale a few years ago and are waiting to sue for "quiet" title.  I will try to contact the County to see if I can get some more information.

I am a brand new investor starting out in the wholesale business.  I ran across a vacant property that I was planning to try and contact the owner for a potential wholesale deal; however, after a little research I found that the property is headed to a tax sale.  Does anyone have any experience with tax sales in Alabama?  The property appears to need a little work, but it's in a great area and the last sale date on the property was 1983 so it seems there would definitely be some room there to make some money.  If anyone has any tips or advice on this situation, please share!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!  I'm looking forward to making some great connections here and learning from this community.

Thanks!  It's always nice to see some other folks here in my local market!

Hi, my name is Chris and I am a brand new real estate investor from the Birmingham, AL area.  I am in the process of setting up my business entity and plan to start my marketing efforts in the next couple of weeks.  My initial focus will be on wholesaling.  I have already learned a lot from BP just from browsing the forums and articles, so I hope to learn lots more now that I will be actively participating!
