Usually when I am buying "off market" properties I pay for all the closing costs....except the property taxes or judgements and liens on the title. 

Here it goes:If I buy tax deed property in Florida and public records show that the previous owner has a judgment recorded but not a lien against the property yet, can this judgement later on still get converted to a judgment lien against the property although it changed possession?

I'm a big believer in getting as much data as possible, and then making your own judgements.

I have an applicant from them with a 504 credit score and an " unlawful detainer" on record w/ a judgement amount of around $5,000.

If I hear dogs barking in the background or if the husband is leaving a message but I hear the mother screaming at her kids while the message is being left I imagine how they will be as tenants and sometimes make a judgement call if I will even call back.

A judgement is a piece of paper suitable for framing.

@Brian Walters Good news,you are in the best state for a LLC and it’s main object to keep you the owner hidden or protected.I am a Fortune Builder Alum,and I have had my LLC since the end of 2018.I currently rehab properties,but plan to add rentals sooner than later.IMO I would not create an LLC for each property but would put them in groups.3-5 6-8 the object is in the severe case that a lawsuit or judgement was issued ,you would lose a small group not the entire nest egg.Best of Luck!

And another difference here, that is not the same in most other states, is that at the first Tax Sale, all the liens, mortgages, judgements etc, transfer to the Tax Sale buyer. 

What is the difference between estimated credit bid and judgement amount?  

I was cautioned by local advisors that this was not good in Tx. and that I could possibly be responsible for claims, judgements or Liens on the property.
