I could be all sorts of wrong with my assessment but I’m intensely intrigued on what others say, could be a solid area to consider that’s set apart from the crowd.

Both units have forced air heating, so we're going to get a contractor out there soon to see if the blower will be compatible.

The tax assessment is at 75k and did not reset when it was sold in 2018 for 200k.

The property was flipped by the previous owner with the assessed tax value being 1/3 of my purchase price.My lawyer is trying to negotiate a settlement but the tax assessor is not returning messages.Curious to see if anyone has run into this issue and any good tips I can employ here to keep the assessed value reasonable. 

I recommend documenting everything -and hopefully you took photos as well - and then assessing a value to it. 

@Denise EvansGetting the yardwork done to prevent the city from assessing a Weed lien is considered preservation?

Before bidding on a tax deed, how does one assess if the property is a good deal?

Also, be sure to understand the relationship between your assessment and FMV.

That would be an issue for someone with limited funds so you have to assess your situation.

However the evidence of some marks and the previous owner having used some kind of water blocking paint on some of the walls and the resultant efflorescence at particular spots concerns me.I had a few waterproofing companies come in to assess the situation.
