@Marilee HaneyI've never really looked into tax foreclosures - Victor seems to be 100% right - seems to be a risky proposition to do anything to a tax foreclosed property until 1 year has passed.Guessing the workaround would be to give the owners/heirs some money to transfer deed/ownership to you in some way so there'd be no worries about them having any arguments up to a year after the tax sale happens.I've only dealt with redeeming a bank foreclosed property - there you can buy the redemption rights and have them signed over to you.

I'm very sorry for that situation that you had to deal with, and it must been very difficult to deal withI have a proposition for you; you may want to consider this proposition because it will not cost you anything to sell your house this way.I specialize in "lease to own" where the seller can get top sales price for their property, and avoid paying a real estate commission, which can be a lot of money. 

Truth wins, have a value proposition because you can bring the buyers and they don't want to do any work and it does not go on the market, just some showing blocks here and there.

What is happening today or this year is almost irrelevant because real estate is a long term (multiyear) proposition.

But, if I stay, I must live with both of them cause as much as I know, there is no other way - this is also a painful proposition...Here's the thing - all of my friends, people whose opinion matters but who are not related to me, are here.  

You could try to flip the land but there are holding costs and no rental income so its an expensive proposition.

If you contract to buy an MLS-listed property and offer it to me, for a fee, I might find value in your proposition.

We are not relying on verbal statements not contained herein.The above proposition is accepted this ________ day of ____________________, 20__.SellerSeller Signature: ___________________________________Seller Printed Name: ________________________________BuyerBuyer Signature: ___________________________________Buyer Printed Name: ________________________________"

Further the lack of low interest rates and long-term financing (to even locals) make investing there a difficult proposition when compared to investing here in the US. 

In fact perhaps you could offer this person a proposition, you will refrain from the $100 rent increase if this person will subsidize a tenant by $100/month.
