But if you are challenging my integrity, I'd be happy to give you references for connections I made with no monetary compensation.

OK... that doesn't seem like a game changer to me.Fortunately or unfortunately, the best way for new investors to save up money for real estate is... a job. we do need to keep in mind wholesaling is just being a real estate agent.. exact same function bring two parties together for compensation. 

A lot of their compensation is in stock.

In essence I'm interested in a property whose taxes have been sold and I wanted to see if I could offer the tax buyer compensation for their interest or position in the property.

All typically are funded via the utility provider who is compensated by federal programs.My thoughts on it are I hope the idea fizzles before implementation.

HW Tank & we just threw in new (free use) washer & dryer because the rents more than compensate.

Many times on smaller buildings I'll try to get a tenant in the building to do it, but you have to be careful to show you are actually compensating them in some way, etc.You'd also want to make sure to use a properly insured contractor for snow removal since "slip and fall" is one of the most common tenant lawsuits.
