If I need to do a double close and pay the fees I will, I would just prefer to milk this thing as much as possible, naturally. 

@Jennifer Marshall, There are large slabs of both natural and synthetic stone in high end tile shops.

I do NOT recommend you get the seller to fix any issues unless they are very easy and essentially cosmetic in nature.

It was (and still is) nature photography as I would take my camera hiking with me and on vacations.

So the mortgagees must follow specific procedural rules when trying to divest an IRS Tax Lien (or any federal liens for that matter).

I'd consult an attorney before changing the locks and if making a key to enter, follow proper procedure to advance notify them of your intent to enter.

If you are a micro manager by nature I don't recommend it as you'll need to hand the reigns over to other people. 

The legal/procedural overhead of a private placement is too high for a small deal like that.

Talk to a local title company if you don’t know the implications of a tax deed......the laws, procedures and restrictions are state specific.  

A "professional" tenant can tie you up in court for the best part of a year, especially if you make even a tiny procedural mistake.Chapter 93A (the Consumer Protection Act) also applies to landlords and can award a plaintiff up to 3 X damages.
