Target Property has a Tax Lien on it. Can you help me score it?

[Kraig Kujawa]

Hi there, I was walking around looking for distressed properties using the info I learned from these forums and identified a target.

Then I went online to the property appraisers and found the property - BINGO! - has a Tax Lien. Does anyone have any wisdom on how to efficiently leverage this info when approaching a seller via letter or door knock?

Thank you!

Is the property owned occupied? Direct mail or door knock works if it is owner occupied. Otherwise use skip trace to get the contact information of the property owner and other situation of the owner.  It might also be useful to find out whether the house is in foreclosure filed by the mortgage company. Once you reach the right person, try to approach the owner by offering some sort of solution to the issues the property is having.
