And I do confess I told him exactly that (although he already had it figured out :).  

@Nancy BachetyCan't concur completely, Philip has a 7 figure problem he would benefit in countless ways using professional services but you are right most traditional advisors are not capable of helping in this situation.  

A client of ours had delinquent taxes and the property was scheduled for a Tax Deed Sale. 

Or sale this great location.  

I am a 18 year old in my last year of high school, for the past couple of months I've been gaining knowledge on whole sale real estate and I also have been taking a couple of the first steps to begin my career with wholesaling.

House was for sale and I did not have a realtor yet so I just walked around and took a peek in the windows, I think it was a remodel/update or new build, but fit in seamlessly. 

This gives me more time to figure out how I could make this work from out of state.

In your opinion it would be best to look for houses for sale by the owner?

I figured with so many folks invested in the area they might find it fun!

A lot of investors have already found title companies that are familiar with our style of assignments, you can also contact a number of title companies in your area and ask to speak to the sales rep they know who the investor friendly escrow officers are.
