It's actually in the Tampa area. If I could get those liens lessened, that would be awesome

My father was quit deeded my grandmother's property after her death by my aunt when the property was thought to be on the way to be taken by the bank for outstanding loans. Long story short, the bank wrote off the loan. My dad has this property but it is in disarray. It has liens for the city demo of the house and cleaning of the yard. It would take $25k in total to clear the liens. The land is zoned for 4 lots.
I would really like to make this my first investment in real estate as I see it as the most low-cost and less risky opportunity to get in. However, I'm unsure of how to move forward considering that I have 3 other siblings that would be tied to this property if anything happens to my father. I'm the only one in my family that is financially capable of doing the things needed to get the property right. I'm lost on where to start with this and really need help identifying the best possible way forward. Thanks in advance!
In your position, maybe starting by communicating your ideas to the 3 siblings tied to the property would be a good place to start? Being able to have an investment property is great, but at the risk of potentially causing a rift in the family?? Something to think about. Being clear to everyone might help guide you as to what the next move might be as well.
Thanks Carlos! My grandmother actually passed in 2009. Thats how long this property has had issues. We forced the city to do the demo and yard cleaning because we could not come together to get things done. I'll definitely talk to my siblings because I would not want to harm them in any way or hurt our relationship. I was thinking of having the home put into a trust with our names on it. However, I would want a higher percentage ownership for paying off the lies and covering the costs to get the property up to par to go to the bank. What are your thoughts?

Hi Amir,
It seems like the decision would depend on the value of the property and its potential use. Is the property in a condition that can fixed up and rented, or would it be a complete teardown/ground up build? If there's a lot of potential in the land use, you could possibly partner up with a developer.
The property can be developed. It is in an area that is currently being gentrified. The value of the land is higher than the costs to clear the liens. I would like to develop it on my own. But I am unsure of how to include my siblings and protect the investments that I put into the property at the same time.
