Then you're going to need to do a title search and figure out exactly what the liens on title are.For example, let's say Butler County RE taxes have priority over everything other than city taxes, HOA assessments and child support.

It just seems every time I turn around taxes are going up or I have to fight the assessed value.

A completely subjective and incorrect assessment that could not be overcome.Second, you will have to purchase the house yourself.
