I usually send tenants a written notice if they have an outstanding balance but I won't start eviction over a small amount.

Then have enough to pay the outstanding loan balance.  

@Jared Siddle yes we practice nation wide and represent clients all over. 

Nationwide rent appreciation show that the last few years have experienced far above average rent appreciation so much of the rent differential likely happened in the last few years  Second, without being intimate with the market I do not know turn over rates so I refer to @dean h. expertise as having duplexes in the state that are not easy to rent.  

QCD means you are inheriting All liens on the property, not just back taxes.....there could be outstanding mtg.s, code violation liens, judgments, on and on.....or it could have been a tax foreclosure...a whole different set of laws and traps.Ditto, you need some help locally from someone who understands what you are looking at.

What if there is a large lien outstanding against the property?

I would never want to risk losing $10k+ over slipping up on missing a text by the 25th hour.Clients just want someone that is knowledgeable about the market, professional, outstanding communication and genuine personality.

RE prices have had an outstanding 6 year run.
