@Keith Thompson OP is dealing with a tax deed sale, not a tax lien sale.

@Chris Angels  Check what the local/nearby laundromats are charging and then lower yours by 25 -50 cents.View this more as marketing and a benefit to the tenants residing in your unit.You'll do far better off financially with better quality tenants and scheduled rent increases then by a few extra dollars from the coin op. 

To the OP.....Maybe they were testing you. 

@Jay Hinrichs I think you'll agree that OP would find this recent thread an interesting on-topic read: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/49/topics/520...

Assuming this is an investment property (you didn't state occupancy intent in OP) and a GSE 30YF, even a gift will get shot down once it's in underwriting.

Cool thing about real estate is that you can make it your own.Back to OP, I've seen some video tours and I really like that. 

If I were OP with $150K I would venture out of state into larger MF. 

I don't have a list off-hand and while it may be helpful, I'd always seek someone that is a unique fit for your business, messaging and approach to daily ops (how to interact with tenants, billing and the like).

My understanding from the OPs original post is that there is no linkage between the lease and the option agreement - which is one of the things the new regulations in the U.S.A. were trying to remove.

OP has no legal recourse
