I’d rather get the right tenants who want and appreciate the unit as opposed to lowering the price and just getting any Tom, Dick, or Harry.

Maybe like @Theresa Harris said, only if done by professional painters.

I would double check I suspect HOA liens get removed as well since they are junior to the tax .. over the years we bought literally hundreds if not more than a thousand parcels in CA at tax sale and never once had a lien survive.. the only bummer was we got one over turned when the county missed the statutory publishing date  ( 21 days) by one day and the owner who lost the property brought a civil suit and the judge reversed it.. the entire sale that year could have been reversed over 250 properties but each and every own would have had to bring a civil suit.. then after one year there is NO ability to reverse the sale. and of course we got our money back.. but spent money on attorney. 

@Theresa Harris yes the one hose is from my house.

While many people my age are barely surviving, or still living at home, I took huge risks, saved diligently, read everything I could get my hands on.
