I BET IT IS!

I'll bet that puts you ahead of 75% of the other investors out there that don't put much thought at all into post-acquisition property taxes and how that effects income.  

@John Beck your best bet is to start with local banks and credit unions who know and understand the area. 

Try to take at least two people for inspections if the owner will be present so that one can keep the owner occupied.If the owner is sticking too close, you can bet they fear what the tenants will say.

If it’s this “difficult” to find out which person owns the property, that’s probably for a reason.You’re best bet is to contact the lawyer, let him know why you want to contact the owner and have him/her set it up. 

Your best bet would be sell the land as is  and buy somewhere around there in a place with lower taxes . 

I bet you are right on about it being a Copywriter who isn't as fluent as maybe they should be to explain nuanced concepts and such.

@Frankie Betancourt Your best bet at this point in the process in my experience is to attend the Sheriff Sale and be sure to have the funds available, all sheriff sales I know of, like Jon said, are cash only and 'as is' obviously.

Best bet is pay cash, take out a heloc, buy more with HELOC.

What a total sucker offering....you pay $122 plus $195 for the chance to earn $20/year in interest, then get your $122 back at some point.
