We won a property on auction.com that was listed as the redemption period being over in August 2016 - well we won the rights to the sheriff's certificate.

Would there need to be a certificate of occupancy issued for the separate unit in order for it to be insured?

I like the sound of doing small apartment complexes or tax debt certificates and deed acquisition sold at auction are more up my alley.  

In many counties a tax certificate could have been sold (thereby making the taxes current) and the county will not volunteer that information.

They have the original will and the notorized death certificate, but are having difficulties getting answers from the county.

@John VolpeOn top of all the advice above, consider asking the seller and the tenant's to sign something called a tenant-estoppel certificate.

Also you probably need a Certificate of Occupancy, so building department would be getting involved anyway.

As for the CFK offer , I would call them and tell them this is the final offer to vacate by 4/15 for $4000, If not , the deal is off the tableHi Denise,As per the attached Pre-Approval Certificate that I had sent to you yesterday morning, they are preapproved and the lender has “Verified” their “Funds to Close.”

@Sean PhillipsPull the death certificate.
