I would recommend reaching out to the county tax commissioner or treasurer for guidance on the tax sale guidelines as they may vary by county.

Treasurer and recorder say I have a clear title. 

The closes I could come to answering this question was "30 Year US Treasure Bonds".1) Low risk2) Decent return (Currently)3) Nobody involved besides me and the best economy in the world (The US).4) And no work other than monitoring the economic climate sporadically.Now, the bigger question is "How to get to $10m in liquidity?"

It’s like hunting for treasure – except your map is Zillow.Network: Leverage your connections in Kansas City.

Welp... that's a lot better than what I found with the last house clean out. 1/8 of Tequila 1 tiny piece of the green sticky ickysome frozen Jack Daniels Pork I had a decent 15 minute party w/ my found treasure 

But, the treasurer and recorder say I have a clear title.

You get it by going to the county treasurer or county clerk's website and searching the address.

I work and invest in the Treasure Valley, and run meetups here.

Also, ask them what the most popular colors and color schemes are, since they deal with painters and homeowner directly, they can be treasures of information of what accent colors are being used and where, etc.* Call local property mgr's and/or ask for referrals from your relator friends/associates, and ask them for referrals - sometimes they will be nice enough to offer helpful advice, especially, if you tell them you will consider using them when you turn the house into a rental in a yearAs a 27yr appraiser and Realtor/Broker, the paint job has minimal affect on the value, unless it is so bad that I have to mark it down in quality and/or condition.

If you're not sure call the county treasurer and get the date.
