I got it for 25k and it took 30k to renovate and is breath taking i had the house sold even before i bid on it and we officially went under contract last month i set the buyer up with RMS Mortgage because i have always had such an easy time purchasing houses through them. all was going smoothly until the title search showed it was tax acquired and apparently in Maine they have 15 years to come back to protest which is so wierd. so i looked up options and research lead to find out i could ask former owner to give me a quit claim deed. basically the conversation would go ( hey guess what you could claim to have your house back would please let me have it instead and take time from work to follow me to the notary please?)
