I am looking for a NC lawyer to undertake a Quiet Title Action - that's exactly what I'm asking - if anyone has any recommendations.

Successful investors have more opportunity presented to them than they can possibly undertake.

@Joe Hausen - Good question, but, it seems like you are not totally at ease with this undertaking and rightly so.My take is that this property might not be worth your time and effort to acquire, pay the overdue taxes, refurbish and sell for a measly amount of profit if not a loss. 

A side benefit is the Roxul (rock wool) insulation helps with sound proofing ... we have even begun putting it the walls surrounding washrooms and laundry rooms when we undertake a deep renovations.

You will also need to find the source before the remediation - and be certain that your specialists can solve this problem with some degree of certainty before undertaking the removal.Is it worth the aggravation and the permitting process ...btw, check to see if permits are required by the town or county.Much success!

It can be a big undertaking, although there can be profit in it IF the numbers are right and IF you have done your homework to know what you are getting into (both big “IFs”).

A full reno is a large undertaking with lots of hidden issues/costs.

Separating the utilites for electric, gas and water for each building to their own individual meters was quite the undertaking and more expense and time consuming than expected.

If you decide to refurnish or redecorate, I have had pretty good luck with Ogle Furniture.
