Get property tax amounts from the County Treasurer.4. 

When I was looking in 2012 the treasurer was auctioning 20,000 properties in one week. 99 percent weren't worth buying but I looked at so many..

mid-sized apartment building, you should be working with an experienced broker and/or attorney who should be able to advise you on what materials and {diligence} conditions should be identified in your APS.Building on what has been stated above, be sure to include the collection of estoppels from all tenants (and suppliers) and to have the clock on your diligence period start only once the Vendor has supplied the information requested of them (in the APS).Other items which we typically request as materials include: all leases and contracts; blueprints, engineering diagrams and assessments; existing environmental assessments; authorisation to pull the permit and work order / citation history on the property; finances for the past 3 years; current rent-roll along with economic vacancy (physical vacancy, concessions, evictions); list of recent CAPEx; statement of reserves (note: this should be included in the financials, but you never know).

I think it would take me about two weeks of diligent searching to grasp a certain market - but I would need the help to discover recent sales, etc..It’s a treasure hunt; fun, exhilarating, and pure American Dream stuff. 

I went to look at the deed I received on it from the county treasurer and it indeed says 'tax deed'.

It looks like you might need to do a public records request through the Treasurer's office.
