Tax foreclosure in NJ

[Phil Rizzo]

I am new to the group and REI and could use some advice. A seller I am taking to is 28k behind in taxes. She got a complaint from the county and they are now threatening to take the property. She is considering a cash offer from me and exploring other options with bankruptcy lawyers. One lawyer told her she wouldn't be able to sell her house to me because of the status of the property. I don't see why she couldn't but was hoping someone here could provide some insight. Thanks
