Hope you're not using the old name.....I don't see an issue unless the guy murdered folks in there or ran drugs out of it, but even that should float away in the time you stated.What was the reputation you think is killing your deals?

@Craig Garrow  this information is readily avaliable on the internet with a few clicks.just google a state and ask how the tax sale works.. many counties have it clearly spelled out.. no big mystery here

If you like PM me the address, I'd like to take a look at that mystery house!

It is no more mysterious than buying an apartment building directly from an owner.

Always be watching for 2nd mortgages, mechanics liens, bankruptcies, back taxes, unpaid utilities, cloudy easements, mysterious heirs, etc.

Assault and attempted murder are crimes, so if that was the case, you could quite likely evict the perpetrator.

As for the racism, all of you might remember that recently, a man walked into the main synagogue of my city, Pittsburgh, and started murdering Jews according to his neo-Nazi beliefs.

Has anyone else had their listings mysteriously deactivated on Zillow Rental Manager?

@Nathaniel LoftonOTR is a really interesting area , used to have one of the highest rates of murders but has really turned around , never been there but read quite a bit about It .

And in many ways, still a mystery to me.
