What I am asking is if anyone here has experience approaching a home owner in Tax Lien Default, ready to lose their homes to auction.

I bought a home at auction, everything is online.

., B to B+ area4/2/2 built 19731400sq ft149kest: 40k rehab ARV $249krents in area on 3's going for $1800-2250, no 4 beds under 2500sq ft in area to compare rent ratesI asked the agent if it was sinkhole home, because numbers sound like one.. but claims not, states the home is currently owned and lived in by investor, investor bought home in 2001 for 90k at auction, has lived in it since and never put any money into the home except kitchen with new appliances.

I'm thinking even if I got the note into the hands of the 3rd party they would need to foreclose on me, purchase the property at auction and sell it back to me to clear her name from the deed.

Re: redemption of property, returning deed to ownersbought this property at tax auction...The constable sent the deed to me and it states " I hereby convey to the grantee (me)all of the rights, title, and interest owed by the defendants in the property described above"So I guess what im asking in your experience ...is there anything I have to do before mailing this deed to the former property owners?

Auctions can be tricky.I'd say the first thing to figure out is today's ARV. 

Hi, trying to figure out how to find out what is owed on mortgage(s) for public foreclosure auction properties so I can determine what might be the opening bid at auction. 

You may also want to keep an eye on the auction sites as sometimes those properties don't end up on mls.

I came across a post from a few years ago regarding hard money lenders and auctions however;  I felt the need to post the question again just in case there have been any changes. 

If you have enough cash you could go to auctions at the courthouse steps and buy a fixer upper.
