It's wise for you to be thinking ahead like this and asking these questions.  

I may be getting ahead of myself, but I'd rather not double back on my efforts if someone else has already cracked this nut.Thanks to those that contribute.

But I'm just trying to get my ducks in a row here ahead of time. 

of course this is additional costs as well.Look ahead for the next year though when considering your monthly and annual expenses of the property and what your overall strategy would be.

Not only are the rehabs going to be even more of a pain in the *** than usual, the entire landscape ahead is unknown.

But I did it after a few months just to show the banks that payments are being made ahead of time. 

Thanks for your help ahead of time!

Thanks a head of time to anyone who responds.  

Because they represent the municipality filing for tax sale, and if the lawyer tells them he recommends delaying tax sale as you are trying to solve some complicated issues they normally will go along with the lawyers request.Also the tax sale file will tell you who filed the Medicare lien.Before you move ahead look and see what the present liens are plus what the house is worth today "as is".

Do not pay anyone ahead of time, especially with the final payment and insist that they do sign a full  final lien waiver.
