I guess you should be able to claim one exemption in each county because they dont' talk each other :-)

@Sam Fivey,In there's verbiage in his lease or some other document to support his claim, it should be enforceable in court.

Additionally, there could be issues when it comes to marital status for example if one of the 5 people get a divorce down the road and then the ex wants a piece of the action.It may be best to buy the remaining siblings out so there are fewer claims to the property.  

@Ramon Polo You call these lists "high quality" motivated seller leads, but also claim "most of these leads haven't showed interest in selling YET" - not showing interest in selling yet, by my definition, is not a motivated seller, much less a "high quality" motivated seller.Feel free to DM me. 

No prior owners can claim rights after a tax sale, all previous title rights are extinguished.

They actually signed affidavits with the bank's attorney releasing their claim to the property.

The judge would not even look at the documents and said the documents won't change anything since they claim equitable interest.

The seller should give you an inventory list of everything and in due diligence of the asset you verify everything.If at closing the Seller takes everything you have a legal claim since the items were identified in the executed PSA.

Also, a good CPA would be welcome as well.I'm eager to post my fist victory soon!

Claiming profits shows income.
