Wasn't expecting this to come up. 

I have clients in KCMO that buy distressed properties and generally don't have issues, but they have several years of experience doing this, some properties are even abandoned.

I will be contacting my agent soon, but I wanted to toss this question to the forums to help me cover bases I might not think about.  

Hard to provide advice without more details, however that is probably the approach I would take. 

That’s the question, how or why would I do this partnership?

This forum has been an absolute wealth of information around the foreclosure process and trustee sales.I've been heavily researching tax sales/foreclosures for a few years now and finally feel ready to take the jump.

I'm a local investor in Saskatoon and would be happy to connect and give you a local lense on this market or even feedback on properties you are eyeing up.

Looking forward to learning from you all and this site!  

This process updates ownership records at the county level and makes the sale a matter of public record.2.

But, this all depends on what you need an architect for.
