Tax lien purchase
Statement of lien posted on someone’s door. House has been vacant. If I get a hold of the owner (who’s name and addy are on the paper) would I be able to acquire this property from them buy paying those taxes... if they don’t want the house?
IM ALL EARS. THANKS

You could get them to sign over the property to you and pay them for their time or as little as you can. I just use a Quit Claim deed. Then go pay the back taxes as the new owner.
Check and make sure there are no other liens or mortgages first. You may want to order a title report to know for sure.
