We should get together sometime.John and Jon are both correct in their assessments.

Some liens, depending on your state laws would remain, even with foreclosure-ie. code violation lien, gov't assessments, etc.

Loans that didn't fit the square hole were more apt to be assessed as predatory, the hole has been bored out making it larger but requiring easier guidelines avoiding the predatory assumption being made.Passing the House Is no surprise, the Senate is a different matter.Either way, leave it to politicians to keep things unsettled and in chaos

Since the option is taken to buy at a set price, the value of the property is assessed when that agreement is made, making further improvements increases the value and since you have no obligation to buy under the option I don't see being on the hook for such costs first of all but if I were that it be applied toward my purchase, (realizing that if you didbn't buy you'd still lose that investment).

The tax assessed value $22,000 less than the listing price.

Without this vapor barrier no dehumidifier will ever catch up.That is as far as I would go before pausing to re-assess in a month or so.  

i live in Florida and i would like to try to start acquiring and flipping land here in florida. ive never bought a property before, heck i dont even own my house i rent. but i love making profit flipping cars and motorcycles so i would like to try to flip a peice of property. i found an empty lot online someone is selling so i researched it first on the local property appraisers site. i found that the person currently selling this empty lot owns it as a tax deed and has owned it for 1 year. i see the person paid 3300.00 in back taxes for it they want 3500.00 which i like because im a poor boy so its something i can afford. its assessed value is 11,000 but im afraid that they are wanting to sell it because of previous leins that are pushing on them. i read somewhere that with a tax deed you cannot do a title search. if i buy this property am i essentially walking into it blind, based soley on what the current owner chooses to or chooses not to tell me. can i do anything with this property before the 4 year mark is up. i heard you can do a quite title but not sure if its worth the time or money. i would appreciate any info or advice for a newbie trying to make a profit. thanks.

The management company apparently consulted with an attorney and came back that the solution was to get the repairs initiated as soon as possible by issuing a special assessment.
