Quote from @Denise Evans: The law changed it to 4 years after the first auction, or the first sale by the tax collecting official.

Hi all,I received an invoice from my plumber, but need to get official drawings of connecting our back house to our main septic tank.

Winning bids receive a quitclaim deed and then the bidder has to file the quitclaim deed with the county clerk to get title and officially own the property. 

.- Communicate with the county: Try to negotiate with the county officials.

However, health concerns forced me to step away from the hustle about 6 years ago.Fast forward to today, I'm officially retired and living in sunny California with a renewed sense of energy (and much better health!).

She might not be understanding something or explaining it to officials properly and that is where an estate attorney can help.

We had 20 exhibitors who all reported solid engagement with the attendees, we even had almost 30 elected and appointed government officials. 

Specifically, anything indicating that the lease is completed and both sides have no claims or issues with each other.There's no "standard" agreement that I'm aware of, but we've done a bilateral "Termination of Rental Agreement" when we wanted to document that a tenant has officially moved out, that there are no outstanding funds owed, and that there are no claims or issues.These agreements are particularly useful when doing "cash for keys" with a tenant.I would keep it simple: State in the document exactly what you want to establish as facts, and then run it by an attorney for good measure.I'd also recommend requiring the tenant's signature be notarized.

They plan to bring in their own team, which means the current property manager will be out of a job once the deal officially closes.

Sometimes you can talk directly to the owners.Use the Internet - Websites can show you houses that are being sold because the owners couldn't pay their bills or are in other kinds of trouble.Check Public Records - Look at official papers to see if a property owner is behind on taxes or other bills, which could mean they need to sell fast.Study the Market - Learn about how much houses in that area usually sell for and how much you could sell it for after you fix it up.Be Careful - Make sure you investigate the property fully to see if there are any legal problems or money owed on it.By using these steps together, you can find properties that might be a good investment because they need work or are being sold at a lower price than usual.Kind regards,
