@Jean Pierre Alarie I believe vinyl siding. Everyone keeps saying it’s a good deal though.. we”ll see. Just can’t wait til Covid is over..

@Jean Pierre Alarie Yes I did get a livable house for 13k. Squatters are still there though.. just sitting on it right now as soon as I can evict I will.

@Jordan Jones Thanks for the info. Did you invest In a property yet? Please keep me updated with how things are going with you.

@Jordan Jones Hey man it’s going... Due to the memorandum for eviction,  I’m unable to do anything right now. But soon as courts open back up, I’ll be getting them out of there. Let me know what you decide. Stay safe.


@Account Closed Yes he said he would not buy it because the title is not clear. He also specifically stated that title is not insurable and  that the owner with superior interest could come back later to try to redeem. So I’ll get a copy of title report and have it reviewed by an attorney. 

@Charlie MacPherson
Thanks for the info..I mentioned that because the attorney pointed it out forwhatever reason.. As far as the liens, only for back taxes for last few years, which I verified myself with the county. I’ll ask my attorney those questions you suggested. This is new for me. I’m also not clear on what coming to a settlement meant.. I just spoke to the closing attorney he said he would not buy it because the title is not clear...

@DeJarian Dickson Graham  I think the convenience store is a red herring.  I don't see how it has any bearing on the property you are talking about.

Regarding the lien from the prior owner, you need more information.  What is the amount?  The reason?  Is it valid in perpetuity until satisfied?  These are all questions for your attorney, unless you know how to research it yourself.

If it's not a big lien, you're probably better off coming to a settlement on it than doing a quiet title, which will rack up attorney fees.

I have a seller who wants to donate a property to me.  The only cost I have to incur upfront is $937.00,  3 years in back taxes plus my attorney fees. The property was tax deed sale in 2014 and has been vacant for several years. The seller has moved to another state and just wants to sign it over and not deal with it. When I had my attorney run a title check my closing attorney stated the title was clouded and the prior owner has superior interest to the seller that’s looking to sign  it over to me. Attorney also stated that the prior seller with superior interest also owns a convenience  store, which was purchased cash $900k in 2007.  Long story short, I will need to do a quiet title action. What should I do?  Should I reach out to prior seller with superior interest or go through the quiet title action? Any insight would be helpful. 

That’s really messed up, what has happened to you. I actually had someone rip me off $30k behind a flip, nothing at all compared to what you lost. 😓😓 Don’t give up. You will recover, hell we all will.
