Hi BP,
I have found 2 properties owned by the same church. Both look to be neglected and one has unpaid taxes. I am debating reaching out to the church starting with the property with the unpaid taxes but I don't know if there is any limitations or legal issues with buying properties owned by a church. Below is a little more info on the properties:
Property 1:
- Listed as SFH on the Property Appraisers website
- Has a 2020 tax lein certificate against the property and 2021 taxes remain unpaid
- Appears to be in distress
Property 2:
- Listed as Inst - Religious on the Property Appraisers website

Unsure of the limitations or issues but there is definitely no chance you can buy them if you don't reach out. Start a conversation if they are interested, walk through them. If you can agree verbally on a price or at least in a ball park reach out to a real estate attorney and ask if there will be any issues
