Ohio is a judicial foreclosure state and the property is up for its first time on the block.   

Block off an early-to-mid week couple of days for the AC.

Can people intentionally play games to put liens on property to block the tax deed buyer to get clear title?

You do need to use anti-spam tech to not hey blocked though.

Since he was 6 months late on the loan, I had urgent needs for the loan and wanted a wire for many reasons (my bank- bank of America puts holds on all large checks, so I am blocked from access to it for a week) and I didn't trust him with my wire information as he told me point blank "I'm not going to give you that information" when I asked who the closing attorney was. 

What's the best way to block this thing up so they can't come in?

Either way you've well earned my block and oblivion in my world.

Once or twice a year, a week should be blocked off the property, and maintenance included touch up painting should be done.

No thank you.We were just looking at a 120,000 concrete tilt-up and the cost was at $116 a foot.  

These could be beautiful properties that add to their blocks rather than detract but I need to take the opportunity myself, it's not going to fall out of the sky.
