I paid less than $4K for this lot, and that's likely more than FMV. The current owner has absolutely no desire to retain the property. The only reason I want it is because it will double the size of my lot. Other than that, it's useless (as I said, you can't build on it.)

Doesn't make much sense to spend money on an attorney for this. 

Why exactly should I not attempt it myself? 

Simple question (I hope).

The lot next door to my house is unbuildable and useless to anyone but me (including the current owner.) I bought the tax deed last year and now it's time to think about foreclosing.  I've read up on the process and it seems pretty straightforward, but there are a couple of things I'm unsure about. 

Is there anywhere I can find a sample foreclosure letter? Just something to base my own letter on.

After the 30 days are up, what's the process for petitioning the court for a full deed? 

Thanks in advance.
