I have a few options, ignore him, go after criminal charges for felony mail and wire fraud, take him to civil court or I can evict the trouble maker.  

(You can read about it here if you want: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/252435-taking-a-tenant-to-small-claims-court-part-1.)One important factor to consider is whether or not you'd be able to collect anything if you did win a judgment. $5k each is pretty significant so it may be worth your time if you think you can collect. 

hi edgar. i have never bought from the court house steps here in buffalo, but i sure am interested in checking it out. i have been doing flipping properties for quite a few years and would like to add this method to my resume. i have been in the court house and checked out the upcoming places on the board they have there, but have never attended the auction. i am a home inspector here in the western ny area, so i feel pretty confident that i could buy there with great confidence as to what i would be buying. always looking for another contact here on BP as well. 

I see lots of folks showing up at auctions holding the news paper so either way works..And if you don't want to pay for a newspaper ... then you hop in the car and go to the court house and Pull the NOD's  some court houses are friendlier than others with access to their data

That's one risk with buying liens in this area.So, it sounds to me as if a tax-lien buyer in the State of Maryland needs to figure the cost of foreclosure proceedings into the acquisition cost.One must then initiate foreclosure proceedings immediately upon acquiring the lien....which raises the question: what happens to the lien-holder's position if the court drags their feet and/or the process continues past the expiration of the lien? 

MAKE OFFERS EVERY DAY.Attend rent court, and listen to the cases, meet landlords, make offersFarm an area (learn how to farm the right way, more on this in my next blog)Understand contract engineeringPractice Power ProspectingCreate and understand a "skinny contract offer"Have expired listing sent to you dailyKnock on the doors of sellers where their listing has expired....make offersGood luck............Charles

I once had an experienced landlady explain to me that she doesn't like to rent properties inside of Cleveland proper because Cleveland Municipal Court requires you to wait 10 days to file an eviction after posting a 3 day notice.

I assume the tax sales are at the court house steps.

Your local Court House Mortgage Department should be able to direct you to the Suit Records

If it gets to court, it is whoever the judge says is responsible.
