There is a a property that i am interested in bidding on and two tax liens were file by the county tax collector, not the state. 

Is the best option just to call the tax collectors office and ask?

Then they just wait a few days, and boom here's the fire hose of apps. 

One gets the judgement, but tax collector collects that and all the other taxes due from the other entities.I'm in Texas so Florida could be completely different. 

(Now that I think about it, it's amazing that the tax collector accepted credit cards!)

And the takeaway I got was exactly what *I* was arguing for...The takeaway I got was that it didn't matter what your profession (tax collector, prostitute, etc), what your status in life, or how many bad decisions you have made in the past, as long you as you attempt to live a good life and do what you think is right, you are worthy of being helped.The other takeaway is that appearances don't matter.

We are willing to offer fair market value, actually more than 2012 assessment, right now on the only 2 that work for us in the area we are looking, but they are both short sales as they paid way too much in the boom, and we are serious about buying one of them and shouldn't be prevented from that simply due to having to wait 90 days for one bank or negotiator to say yes or no while the other one is out there that should also have the chance to say yes or no but doesn't even know we're interested as we can't make the offer.

West Loop- 10 to 15 years ago- A wasteland; Now booming with increased population.

The Riviera Maya has boomed in the last 10 years.

Recently it has had zero population growth which in the midwest is a population boom......
