Once you have that, then you can either have him finish it or hire someone else.I know in Milwaukee you can check to see if contractors are licensed on the gov't website, so maybe see if Buffalo has the same option.Also with every contractor that you hire, call their insurance company and have yourself added as an additional insurer.

Also want to understand crowdfunding places like crowstreet.Originally from Buffalo, NY, but now living in Atlanta.Thanks,Mike

Looking for wholesalers in Buffalo, NY!

I'm in Buffalo, NY.

i have a house in a similar situation here in buffalo, ny. just a piece of advice that may help you, marc. quite a while ago, the banks were instructed by the feds to limit the number of houses they place back on the market after a foreclosure. this was to insure that the market is not flooded and thereby lower overall property values. some banks started just " writing off" these lesser houses. basically, filing either a release of lien or a release of mortgage, and literally just giving the house back to the original owner. i suspect this is what has happened with this house you are dealing with, marc. go to the county clerks office, check for a release of lien or mortgage from the first bank or maybe even the second. chances are, the 2nd bank got the house with the purchase of the 1st bank, and they really don't want it, so, they write it off. at that point, the original owner actually owns the place free and clear, and a quit claim deed is what you want. buying the tax lien is a second great idea. if no one is interested in the mortgage anyway, no one is going to redeem it in a year, and then the place is yours. good luck to you
