For now this is the start of my questions and hopefully it will not be a waste of the forums time.Thank you for reading and hopefully we can all learn from the answers provided.

@David Krulac  there ya go completely different than most states.. out here CA you buy the property at tax sale you get a deed in a few weeks or a month or so from the tax collector you record it.. its yours.. now there is a 1 year statue in CA for the owner to come back and say something was wrong with the sale.. but it is not a redemption they have to prove the county messed up the sale in some way.. the easiest way is to prove the county did not advertise the specified days.. we lost one that way.. but that was one in over a thousand my dad bought over the years.In Oregon for Sure the county commissioners actually have the power to reverse the sale.. but that's just getting it back from the state.. next time I see you I will tell you about one case that is fascinating here. but I don't want to describe it in a public forum and give the bad guys ammo if you know what I mean.

I’ve read countless books, blogs, listen to podcasts, and read forums.

You might try asking in the Dallas sub forum:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/758-dallas-re...

I learn more on these forums than I do anywhere else. 

I have come to the forums seeking advice.

When I am in the process of buying a multimillion dollar deal, I would rather not leave that up to chance that someone in a forum, on YouTube, or on a podcast is going to thoroughly answer my questions and help me solve my problems (no offense BP... lol). 

Thank you(I hope this is the correct forum)

@Leslee Wilson 2 suggestions here; this might be a better post in the commercial forum or the Arizona forum. 

This forum is awesome!
