All states got different real estate laws and a guru will sell you programs that probably won't fly in your state.

Note: make sure that this is consistent with your local/state law as there may be additional requirements and/or differences.

Owner is very desperate he had no job and lived on properties money last 4 years but forgot to pay taxes now he get one's comeuppance.Ohio law shows 18% for the tax lien holder and foreclosure until 6 years after lien release, first tax lien was 2009, then 2010 and 2011 so three tax liens actual with same holder.

That gives you a stronger claim on the property than just a lease, and may (depending on your laws) force the landlord/seller to foreclose if you don't pay.

My disclaimer.....I don't know anything about the BC market, laws or lending issues in your neck of the woods!

I have a passport, but there really is no where I can immigrate to.

Contract law is subject to varying default rules depending on the body of law that governs the contract.

Look for a state with good taxes and landlord laws.
