The note holder, an out of state financial company is eager to sell.

If this is true, then when a property sells at a trustee sale on behalf of the 1st deed holder, isn't the 1st deed holder responsible for paying the superior liens first?

If you can get the seller to sign a purchase and sale and a authorization to release you would be best to short the second lien holder depending on the repairs.

With a tax lien, you only have a lien holders interest in the property.

For buy-and-holders out there -- you've likely decided to focus either on:finding awesome deals, rehabbing and renting -- vs --finding properties that are pretty much move-in ready or (my favorite) already occupied with good tenants.How did you make this decision?  

Thanks @Bettina F.WA state in general is facing a lot of new changes with LL/Tenant Laws.I spoke with an attorney about 2 new changes being implemented this summer:1) Landlords will not be allowed to deny  renting to section 8 voucher holders, based on the prospective tenant being  a voucher holder. 

Those petitions should give you some sense of how the Tax Claim Bureau notified the interest holders.  2.

To give them a sense of security you can also make them a lien holder on the house you are purchasing so they know their investment is backed by real estate. 

Often, it will be in the name of both the policy holder and the Mortgagee (if they are listed on the policy).
