I have been reading a lot about flipping vacant land and while reading through blogs or listening to podcasts, I have heard it multiple times that some counties offer a free information on the delinquent taxes, but it sound like it is more of a task to get this information than using agentpro247 or paying for the county list.

I'm looking to replace my income as well, but do some active investments (i.e. flipping) with some lending on the side.9 units in Seattle is no small task with how much things cost here.

They know the laws and I am ha doing my first set of professionals.Good luck and congratulations on your property and adventures.
