@Shaun Reilly As I recall the tax lien holder bid about $30,000 so if the foreclosure went through they would have had to pay 30K total plus legal fees, plus catch up another years taxes.

@Shaun Reilly my only goal is to find absentee owners who simply don't want their property anymore.

Shaun Reilly I was referring to someone I once heard that said, "repairs run about $5 per square foot."

I've met Shaun in person and the presentation promises to be entertaining.

@Shaun Reilly - Give it another go and let me know if the issue persists.

@Shaun,That's what I tempted to do, is to put the report on the door, as well as slow mail two copies return receipt require signature one to the broker one to the agent...HOWEVER, my agent at the time was against it, I guess she had business dealings with these folks and didn't want to be drawn into a situation, and she said it's probably a FNMA decision not the broker.

If this is the case, the this could be a potential good deal but like @Shaun Carl said, if it's $625 for both unit, no deal.

Shaun,Yes it can be paid at the end of the year.

David and Shaun, thank you so much for the advice.
