However, most do not possess this characteristic, especially if they are inexperienced believing they will be rich soon off cheap property.

I fight everything from minor speeding tickets to marijuana possession to DWI.

Also known as possession of property if the taxes don't get paid back after the state set amount of time.My question is, does the state deem that "amount of time" as counting from the moment YOU purchased the lien or from the moment THEY issued the lien?

The first lien holder (bank or other corporation as you mention) isn't going to let you foreclose on the place.Taking possession of a property like that is going to invite a lot of work and headaches on your part.  

You need to find out what you possess then market that ability to those who need it.

Visit each county office responsible for selling or managing unpaid property taxes to get the process started to take possession of them.  

Try and get the tenant to leave and return possession willingly, signing off on a lease termination.

If that's the case, the property could be an adverse possession possibility!

The risks for the seller in #1 are buyer default, the costs of foreclosure (or deed-in-lieu, if that makes sense), and, if the property ultimately becomes yours again through the foreclosure process, the costs of obtaining possession plus any damage to the asset.

Sorry, I do not possess a filter and would therefore make a very bad realtor.
