We have tax levy sales and redemption periods of 1 year before right to foreclosure can be exercised. 

A local property tax adviser can provide advise on real and personal property taxes levied by cities and counties where your property is located.

If he does construction good luck with that.He will go somewhere where he will cash the checks and you won't see a dime or he will just get cash under the table.The nursing job depending on your state you can try to levy their bank account or garnish her wages.By federal law you can only collect up to 25% of the income if it is above the stated poverty level.If there are multiple garnishes already collecting then there will be less you can take from each check as it gets split up to make the total 25%.

Man Mike that is some serious damage and expense.It is true that if you get a judgment they are very hard to collect.Once you obtain judgment you can use collection companies that only make money on a percentage of what they collect for you and their is no upfront cost.After the judgment in most states you can go for wage garnishment or a bank levy but only up to a certain percentage of income or funds.With tenants you want to look at stable trends.If they pay late every month but pay the full amount plus the 100 fee and they stay there 3 years you have just made an extra 3,600 !

and levied heavy tax penalties.

Then you'd have to sue the Seller to get your money back, most of which would probably have been spent defending a law suit and/or seized via bank account levy to satisfy the judgment.
