I don't like walk throughs with the tenants as they are usually too quick to spot things that may be hidden or to ascertain the true cost of repairing/replacing.My experience is that tenants tend to minimize their damage costs during the walk through.

I live west of Houston and have begun seeking to buy vacant land / lots with past due property taxes which have not yet gone to tax sale.In a couple instances, I ran into this situation:-Have an owner who is a willing seller-Past due taxes are a relatively large-Too few comps to ascertain resell value with enough certainty to ensure a profitI am looking for an approach that would allow me to legally market the property for the owner and split the profit with the owner if I am able to locate a buyer at a price sufficiently high for the owner, and me, to be satisfied.In these instances, the magnitude of taxes due has increased the risk of finding a buyer willing to pay enough to make a profit if I were to buy the property outright from the past-due owner and resell.I have contemplated a couple possible approaches:1) A purchase option with the past-due owner for a period of time during which I would market the property.

A few things I am not as certain about:1.

Try sites like Zillow offers two data points that can be helpful to ascertain value:The "Foreclosure Estimate," which is the price we predict a property will finally sell for if it’s listed as a foreclosure (bank-owned property or real estate owned).The Below Zestimate® value, which is a number that represents the difference between two estimated market values as calculated by Zillow: the Zestimate® home valuation and the Foreclosure Estimate.

I'm an agent, and it takes me 2 minutes to look up an LA property on ZIMAS and LA DBS Records System to ascertain if the units are properly permitted.

Make sure you have negotiated enough time in your contract to do all of your due diligence inspections and determine whether you want to continue or walk away from the deal without losing your earnest money.Ideally you should ascertain if the tenant is willing to sign a long-term lease and at what value.
