I'm studying for my home inspector certification and know how to do some handyman stuff so putting in sweat equity wouldn't be a problem.

You pay your rent before the due date, you'll receive a $50 certificate.

I have lots of clients buying expired tax certificates (meaning "ripe" to go to tax deed) and they have been very pleased with the prices and the process.

My wife was p*ssed.3/24/16: Found BP and posted this thread: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/311/topics/29...04/01/16: Filed certificate a sale despite most of my friends, family, and coworkers telling me it was a bad idea.05/01/16: Paid my first lawyer bill (yikes!).

Also available is something where if a Death Certificate is filed and the property changes hands - this is different than a Probate - more similar to an Inherited property...pretty cool!

If you are 5th in line, you might want to also start looking for some other properties in the meantime.If you  have only a tax certificate, it is sometimes hard to get property insurance.

I will need a certified well contractor that can get me a well sealing certificate after the work so I can show it to the Minnesota department of Health.

I'm going to paraphrase here:"COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS LAND COURT DEPARTMENT OF THE TRIAL COURTORDER OF NOTICE TO: (Previous owner's name), and to all persons entitled to the benefit of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act; Wells Fargo Bank...Asset-Backed Pass-Through Certificates...claiming to have interest in a mortgage covering real property at (address), given by: (name) to (mortgage company) dated May 2005...and now held by Plaintiff by assignment, has/have filed with this court a complaint for determination of defendants service members status...If you object to the foreclosure of the property above then you or your attorney must file a written appearance and answer this before OCT 31, 2016 or you will be forever barred from claiming that you are entitled to the benefits of said Act"Now, forgive me for my ignorance, but is this just a foreclosure notice?

The deed was changed through a recorded death certificate.
