Finding distressed property information

[Dane Silchenstedt]

I have found a property I am interested in. It is distressed, high grass, broken down car out front, utility **** off notice in door, and through front window it looks like a hoarder.

I’ve looked at appraisal district site and have a first name with last initial. I am about to head to the court house to look for tax liens and foreclosure notices.

My question I guess is what should I be doing to get to the bottom of what’s happening with the property?

My wife and I are complete novices and have been reading and listening for a solid year. We are ready to make our first move into real estate.

Thanks guys!
