Running into a property owner while scoping a tax lien parcel

[Account Closed]

What do you do and say when you run into property owners, while scoping out their property with a tax lien? 

Has anyone ever experienced a hostile situation? Anyone had their lien redeemed very quickly after loitering around a property (I know you're not supposed to actually step foot on the property)?

I'd ask if they plan on redeeming the property or if they would be interested in selling.

Never had anyone get hostile.
