My question is, would the city assessor's online database not change the owner of the property even if it is forfeited, or is it more likely the person still owns the property for some reason?

My objections to this is that this cost is coming directly from the HOA funding that I contribute to every month, and secondly its going to be painted by a professional even though the homeowner painted it himself.

I'm ALWAYS online =-)

Hi,This is sort of a unique question that I've been struggling to find guidance to online.  

I heard about Bigger Pockets while watching an online video about getting started in real estate and that this was the "go to" site for people in the industry.  

I've heard it takes 4 months for a house to go from pre foreclosure to foreclosure, but i've seen houses online that have been in pre foreclosure since Oct of last year.  

Also if you are a bookworm, check out the list of BP's 21 Best Real Estate Books, and start checking them off.Philadelphia also has some very useful online tools to access public records.I live/work in the city and am happy to discuss REI there anytime...Best of luck!

This is the concept with which the states which object take exception.Your RE attorney can explain it more clearly - I'm not one.
