@David Dachtera - many thanks for the reply and the information regarding the liens and deeds.However, I'm looking to buy a list from a  list provider so that I can send out Direct mail to owners of property who have failed to pay their taxes on said properties, and am not (at this point) looking to buy Deeds or Liens.If I ask for a list of Tax Delinquent properties for my county, I'll be provided with a list encompassing every property type, every zip, every financial situation (high equity, no equity at all etc), and everything from condo'a to townhouses, SFR's to Multi family.I'd like to understand what criteria I need to specify to the list provider, so that the list he sends me, is targeted and not just a blanket list covering all the above.I don't even know if this is possible . . . . !

I want to find something similar that is available to the public that is  equally all encompassing.  

While this is mostly focused on this one aspect right now, what we really need is an all-encompassing plan.

It adds character to a charming older home . 

Part of my charm :)

It now has almost 200k miles on it, runs like a charm, and has cost me very little in the way of repairs beyond basic maintenance.

I also used it to get the smell of cat pee out of a room and it worked like a charm.

How amazing is it that you took a disaster area and turned it into a charming place where people want to live.  

I agree that the northern part of the city is relatively desirable with better school districts and newer housing, but areas near UOP are also charming and worth considering. - Matt

I'd expect him/her to be able to produce a holistic plan that encompasses every part of my financial position.
