Post: Property lien from 1979 taxes

I appreciate this platform and all the great information and help! 

My problem is on a home I was going to inherit from my aunt in Florida. A couple years ago the IRS asked for her 1979 taxes and she didn’t have them to prove them. So she claims they’ve put a lien on her house. How would I go about finding this lien. And is this legal for the IRS to do with them being so many years ago? I don’t have the money to hire an attorney. And I’m afraid when she passes if the house is to go to me I’ll have to pay the lien amount in order to put it in my name. 
Any insight or help on what I should do?

Post: Raising rent and eventual sell to section 8 tenant.

I have a tenant who’s on section 8. She pays just over $300 and section 8 pays almost $900.  I’m only charging her $1200 and could probably get closer to $2000. It’s a 3/2 in central FL. She pretty much begs to not raise the rent and wants a lease for the next 4 years. Then once her car is paid off she wants to go through the section 8 program to buy my house, which I wouldn’t mind if she doesn’t low ball me because I could then invest in other properties. Should I (& how much) raise the rent. And any idea how the selling of the house to her would work and if it’s a good idea? 
Any thoughts and suggestions on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
