As someone who has done many tax liens and tax deeds in florida, the quickest option to get this done is to go through an attorney. Now if its cost effective, well that depends on your deal. You should always factor that in prior to doing that specific deal. 

As for the cost, that can range between $1,500.00-$2,500.00.

@Account Closed  Awesome job man, glad to see things are still going strong for you.

Without giving away too many details right now, I am building a modular SFH. While I do like park model style homes, they are definitely not for me and yes skilled labor is sort of scarce and kind of high. There is a TON of red tape that I have to get across before construction can start, so with everything that Im trying to do (in regards to construction standards and requirements) Im getting a big "Prove it" from the building department.

As some of you know, I have been investing in Land and Tax liens for a LONG time. I have been fortunate enough to travel to many places, and during that time I have found a place that I want to build a small vacation home. I haven't started construction yet but have purchased the land. Once I start building, I will start a new thread and will post regular updates. In the mean time, I have been taking bids for clearing the lot and etc. So I decided to go to the lumber store to get some prices of the basic materials that I need and was quite shocked by some of these numbers, it makes me appreciate what we have that's easily available in our country.

I wasn't trying to solicit deals, just saying if he wants to connect thats cool. Was also just being nice and having us offer advice depending on what he was looking to do in the Chicago market :)

Hey Anthony,

Welcome to BP, Im located in Chicago so feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Also the Chicago market is HUGE, so feel free to let us know what type of deals your looking for and we can all chime in. 

The comps in Englewood can be all over the place, I have some property in that area and in the day time its not as bad as the media makes it out to be IMHO....but its still bad. Worse case, get yourself an appraiser for a decent price and use it as a back up.  

Write to them in jail, ask them who there attorney is and see if you can make them an offer or to them directly. This is your opportunity, also see if the house was taken away from them as well. Sometimes government agencies take the house away from them after a case like this.

Ahh ok, very cool. Let us know how the deals go.

I would definitely get some testing done on the property, I also feel it necessary to say that I always see people run from these property because they were "cooking meth" when in reality its bad....but not that bad. But again....beware.
