Also, that $100k they've given me would be able to generate more than $30k in revenue over that time.

@Phat Vi you can get a list of properties from the tax office (usually online) and find the owners then call them up.

I come here to read about retail, office and industrial type deals.

If you are hungry enough, you will put in the work to hand write them and lick and stick them off to the post office.

We just use the assessor office for tax records.

I worked in Real Estate/Property Management (was the office manager/accounting supervisor for one of the largest companies in our area) for 8 years, had a license but decided to let it go because I left the business.

Its one big company in all 50 States, not separate market place offices or franchises.

It was getting late so I called the local tax office before they closed to ask them if they knew anything and they said a business bought the 2016 taxes on the property, and they said most likely it was in Nov 17 when it was sold for 2000 and we have 18 months to redeem them.
