That's quite a large decrease especially considering that $1 in 1982 would have the purchasing power of about $3 in today's market.One explanation could be that Interest rates were artificially low for a long time (until recently) which may have diminished the need for seller financing. 

The lowest appraisal expected is $120K per this turnkey company.The explanation makes sense I guess

I really enjoyed how you broke this down with good examples and explanations.

Income, expenses, budget, purchase agreement, letter of explanation, executed 4506, etc..

Account Closed Thank you so much for your detailed explanation!

That's a great explanation Dev Horn.

That is so when a lawyer does a title search on the property, it is clear why there was a deed into Person A, and then suddenly there are deeds out of People X, Y & Z, but no explanation as to how People X, Y and Z got on the title.

Just because you have a tax deed does not mean there are no longer any redemption rights.You can check for liens using the county's online real estate records portal, or by going to the Probate Judge's Office-Records Room--if there is not an online portal.Read my blog article (link below) for an explanation of Alabama tax sale redemption rights.  

Other courses are more about steps to do with less explanation of the why behind things.
