Here's a link to the list of APN's up for auction: **********Here's the cities information on buying tax default properties:https://ttc.lacounty.gov/default.htmThe Los Angeles County Treasurer and Tax Collector's Office is offering 497 tax-defaulted properties for auction online.Starts: August 8, 2015 at 6:00 PM ET 3:00 PM PT) Ends: August 11, 2015 *I'd be curious to hear any thoughts on how to analyze the list of properties and your strategy for acquiring a great deal.

The tenant claimed she ripped her arm open on the metal railing whilst opening the mailbox.They sent pictures of her arm which looked like she'd been in a knife fight.I went and looked at the supposed accident scene and it was apparent their claim was ludicrous.

I am working on a deal where the heirs say "the state owns it" and when I call the treasurer, they say that the property is in the decedent's name.

Do you need masonry work or are they wooden or metal?

And 10 metal blades , cut it up and put the sludge in buckets .

As the Treasurer of an Owner Managed HOA (12 unit condominium), I co-sign the above tremendously.

Some states You can contact the Treasurer of that county & for a few hundred dollars they will do the paperwork for you other states You have to do a Judicial Process with an attorney.3 - "Hybrid State" these are states where they call them a Deed State, but You read their process & they do not actually sell the property but rather it provides either a high interest and/or penalty rate & after the state statutes time elapse.

They made the observation that I was financially astute, I countered that I was a CPA and the next thing I know, the president nominated me to the position of treasurer within about 10 minutes.If you show up and sound like you want to take action and you're half way knowledgeable, you'll find yourself on the other side of the table so fast your head will spin.

To make a long story short, I am the Treasurer of an owner managed HOA.

If it is a crack across the stove and it is not a slide in and it has the metal edge, it was likely the stove.
