I am an accidental real estate investor who wants to become a professional real estate investor.I inherited a duplex when I was about 12 or 13 and rented it to a family member for a long time.

I forgot to press the notification button.

I think the code is pretty clear the there has to be a recorded NOD.I'm pressing this only because I know the penalties can be severe.Thanks.

My background: I became an accidental landlord about 6 years ago.

Press in, and stay with it, and you will prevail.

What they find out a few years later though is that they may have accidentally chosen the real hard way!

So my former business partner "accidentally" wrote 2 checks from the corporate account of my other brokerage business where he is not an authorized signer.

Check out this article I wrote about it on the BP Blog: How I Accidentally Bought Two of Kurt Cobain’s Former Homes and Why That’s Not Even The Best Part.I look forward to seeing you around the site!

if you r looking specifically for tax lien properties there is no one website that lists properties that have liens against them. this is actually how i invest. you need to contact the tax collector for the town you want to research liens in. you need to get the most recent tax sale list or upcoming list if its i the future. if the sale has passed you need to have them give you the results of the sale. which properties did have liens placed against them. if its a future sale, i would plan on attending it. you can buy some liens yourself if you would like. however, at the very least go there to record which liens were placed. once i have my list, i check with tax collector to see if there are older liens on a property. e. g. if you have the tax sale list for 2012 i'll ask if there are any liens prior to 2012. you do this so that properties that are coming close to the foreclosure date, you can heavily market to. these owners will be more likely motivated b/c they are close to losing their property to foreclosure. back to websites, most tax collector offices will either mail/email you sale list. also a lot of times, they are posted on regional paper (ac press, ap press, etc). occassionally, you will get lucky and they'll post the tax sale list right on the townships website. hope this helps. sorry for length.as far as foreclosed properties, you can just google foreclosure lists, and im sure you will find some. most of the ones i have seen require a monthly fee. you could also use a realtor, zillow, trulia, or other listing sites usually post foreclosures.

For example, on Zillow, it shows this property was listed by bank on 12/21/2012 - but there is no price.http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/723-W-Las-Olas-Blvd-Fort-Lauderdale-FL-33312/43203838_zpid/However, if you press the "View Complete Details" button, it takes you to Wells Fargo where it listed an agent, but the status is "Coming Soon" and price TBD.http://reo.wellsfargo.com/WBREODetails.aspx?
