Take the Parcel ID and look up at the assessors site. Than you have all the information you need.

Hi Gordon, I have someone that can do a drive-by and make photos for a fee. Please send me a PN and I can connect you.

@Denise Evans We now closed the deal through the lawyer's trust account. The closer of the office sent us a quit claim deed that we signed and got notarized. The same day she got it back she wired  us the money. Slim process. Cost for the former owner $150. Our first deal closed, funds and profit back and ready to move on!

Hi Lisa

Looking forward getting connected with you. As an out of state investor I am always looking to expand my local network. I will send you my contact info in your inbox.

Talk to you soon, Reto

@Denise Evans After talking to the County we learned that they handed out the wrong document. We now set a price and will do a quit claim through a lawyer and his trust account. Looking forward finishing the first deal!

@Denise Evans Thanks for your answer. We received a "Verification of allowable expenses by tax sale purchaser". It is an official document from Jefferson County Tax Collector that we now need to sign. It looks like the county is involved and the former owner already paid the county. We will call the county and clarify.

Since we did not take possession and did not make any preservation improvement and also not pay any insurance premium I guess there are no additional funds that we can claim besides the 12% per annum. Is this correct?

@Denise Evans I do have some redemption questions. I am not sure if I interpreted everything correct that is written in  your book, hopefully you can answer my questions here:

I received a Tax Deed  (tax sale date: 2014) on december 4th, 2018. The owner called me last week and wants to redeem. He told me that he will send me an affidavit. Before I can sign the affidavit I will need to know what I can charge him:

• I did not yet take possession; can I still ask for the 12% interest?
• Is the 12% interest only on the additional accruals and not from the amount paid to the state?
• If so: where do I get the information on the tax amount of the previous years so that I can calculate the additional accruals? On http://eringcapture.jccal.org/caportal/CAPortal_MainPage.aspx under the redemption button the property is no more shown
• how will he pay me if he agrees on the amount due: directly to me and I confirm payment? Or does he pay the county and they pay me?

Thanks a lot for your answer.

@Denise Evans: when a lien for a vacant lot is sold to the state in 2014 and in 2015 a building is built on, will the Tax Deed be good for the lot and the building? Thanks for your answer.
