@Long D.

Thank you, I appreciate it. With so many siblings involved, I don’t think it would be the best choice for this situation.

@Braden C.

Thanks Braden. Yeah from my convo with her, I was thinking that as well. She pretty much said they’re being difficult and it’s all about greed :(

I’m liking and really getting into this tax deed stuff. I have some properties I’m looking into right now that are already scheduled to go to auction though. Just verifying if all is in order to hopefully do my first bid and cross my fingers that it all goes well :) Would love to reach out to you in the future (if that’s okay?) and maybe work on something together to learn from your experience. And I can also help you if you’re looking to branch out to the Orlando area.

@Chris Seveney

Thank you. I think that’s what I’m gonna have to try.

@Rick R. Johnson

Thanks Rick. The lot is in Florida. It has gone to auctions for tax certificates. Then those investors would need to “send” it to a tax auction for the deed. I was hoping there would be a way to purchase without the auction competition.

@Ned Carey

Thank you for the valuable information.

Hello,

I want to make sure I have no other options. There's a vacant lot that has had taxes unpaid for at least 7 years. Value wise I'm not concerned at this point. The problem is that the owner passed away years ago. She had multiple kids and her kids have since had kids. I spoke to one of owner's grandkid which was originally helping pay the taxes and maintaining the lot. She mentioned she does not want to deal with the family because of past issues and no one is willing to sit and discuss the sale of the land. Something to that effect. 

Is the only solution to go to probate? Which if I'm not mistaken could cost thousands and take a lot of time. Or maybe adverse possession, but then I run the risk of someone coming back to claim the land?

Other than that, the property will just continue to go to the tax certificate sale every year, until someone actually sends it to auction, correct? I don't think any of the investor really care for the land bc it's small and so much is owed in back taxes. But I have family members in the area and would like to utilize that land for something. 

Please help.

Thank you for taking the time to read  :)

@Thomas Enright

Thanks for the information!

@David M.

Yes, it makes sense. Thank you!

As you will be able to tell by my question, I’m new to this and looking to start investing.

I have the funds for down payment and have the credit for a loan. But if I don’t know when I’m going to find a deal to finance, how can I have a pre-approval I could use at any moment if they expire? Otherwise, I lose the deal because someone else has their pre-approval available at the time of the offer.

For my first investment I’m not looking to do owner financing or anything like that. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find a mentor and I’m trying to keep things “as simple as possible.”

Thank you in advance for your help!!!

@Adrian Smalls After someone obtains a delinquent list. Would they just start sending letters to the owner asking if they are interested in selling or am I missing a process?

Thanks in advance!
