john, I don't know if you have read the previous posts but I'm not taking any property from anyone and what I wrote over the course of this discussion is not the whole story. I have actually rectified my mistake in this matter and myself and the person paying the taxes are on good terms and have a lot in common. I learned a lot from this instance because I'm just starting out in this business and AR is something I should not have jumped immediately into. No one ownes the property at all at this point and the owners have been dead for 15 years with no heirs. I figured out the whole story and fixed my mistake. I was looking for the owners to cut a deal on a property that was vacant and wholesale it. A couple paragraphs don't tell the whole story here. I'm in touch with the person who is what you would call stealing the property, and he thinks like me on this matter. I just went about it too quickly and not the right way so don't be quick to judge please. I'm sure we have all learned on certain deals we have tried to do in this business.
