With that being said, if I purchase the 2nd or 3rd position lien (because some of the properties are 2+ yrs overdue on taxes,) could I go ahead and fill out the application for the tax deed for that property?

I have a lot of work ahead of me and I feel good about this starting point, even if it's sort of lame!
