I am in contact with the owner and he would like to sell as he lives in a different state and has no plans of returning to SC.

You can contact your county Delinquent Tax office to find this out.If you want to approach owner you should do a title search and make sure there aren't other liens or mortgages against the property.If the property has a clean title minus the back taxes then you could offer the owner a few hundred for her time to sign the property over to you.

So my solution for you is to attempt to make contact with the people that live there and offer them money to move.  

I sent you a PM with my contact info. 

I want to get into commercial real estate brokerage, but all the commercial firms I've tried to contact haven't responded to my resume.

You need your funding lined up before you get properties under contract.As a Realtor representing a seller, part of my job is to be sure we don't accept an offer unless we're confident that it will close.As part of my due diligence, I contact the lender to find out whether the pre-approval or POF is solid. 

BUT...when you have that "Low Jack" (the word RENTAL in the LLC) on a Judgment, you got a pretty good chance of getting paid, sooner or later as one day out of the blue, a Lender contact you asking where the borrower needs to mail the payment so he can get the mortgage needed to close on a home!  

Yes, I would appreciate the attorney's contact info...

also fun fact: i accidentally got banned from being able to send direct messages..have not figured out how to contact an admin about that yet!
