He had an inspection contingency in the contract so he should be able to walk regardless of my actions

Action taken. way to go

I believe taking action is a huge part to success so being involved here in the forums might just be a great idea. :)Have you read this post yet?

Great to see others here taking action.

After you purchase a tax lien in Indiana does the holder of the tax lien need to take any action before the 1 year redemption period? 

In fact I believe most central banks are trapped at the zero bound and that we're all turning Japanese (Whose 'Lost Decade' is now old enough to be graduating with a master's degree) because low interest rates distort investment and hurt savers who would normally be a big part of the spending in consumer driven economies.

the best advice I can give you would be to get pre qualified if your not approved for further action work backwards and achieve or receive the things the bank needs to get the mortgage btw I congratulate you on finding your first property and going multifamily I'm sure it's a great deal 

The mortgage would be extinguished with the sale of the tax deed and then the quiet title action... 

Network with people in your area, find your niche and take action.  

Congrats to you for taking action.
