I found a huge list of tax delinquent properties online, but I have no idea how to get started.

Now I know that these are online leads so most are useless but I just want to know.

I highly recommend Woodsboro, especially Erin in residential or Richard in commercial.Property Manager: I don't always go by online reviews, but I was looking at reviews for Valley Properties a few months ago, and there are just too many negative Google reviews for me to give them a try. 

Before moving forward with anything, I think you should make sure that this person is qualified enough to buy the house.Or at the least can afford monthly payments and has no criminal background/evictions in the past.There are many online services that you can use for this.I would recommend to ask an attorney to draft a lease and an option document. 

Im starting too and feel very lost just because i dont have who to work with, im re searching studying and connecting dots lil by lil my self, but is not complicated, but a patient game, first secure a buyer list, make one, go out to meetings, groups and meet Realestate investors even online call them ask them of they requirements, they needs,  what they exactly looking for and then match them with the houses.

Until then, I consider the application incomplete.Think of this as a $100 lesson.There are also plenty of online background/credit check services where you can set up the request to the applicant and they pay right there online, so nothing out of your pocket.

Date of Sale to the state was 2014 

Can this just be a notebook with dated notes and a folder of reciepts?

Hence, it's taking longer for bigger developers to bring their juicy projects online. 

There is some water damage from a built in air conditioner and the inside of the house needs to be painted,  carpets pulled,  wallpaper removed in the kitchen and a bedroom,  hardwood floors refinished,  and possibly the dated kitchen updated with new cabinets, appliances and counters.
