Now the mother has an eviction and judgement on her record, hopefully she learned her lesson.  

If not you may have a hard time finding money without a bit of a track record or quite a bit of skin in the game.

I also put a addendum of contract on land records so seller can't back door me for a few extra dollars with another investor. 

The buyer agreed to pay P&I plus taxes, insurance and water utility directly to me as nothing was being changed over or transferred (or recorded) until the loan had been satisfied 15 years later.

I found the permits for the space, as well as the tax records showing that it was being taxed as a 1760 sq ft home. 

However, we would like someone to facilitate the transaction, ie: make sure the proper documents are acquired, produced, recorded etc., on a schedule and in a timely and  transparent manor up to closing so everyone (including us) understands what is expected of them and when.Any further input?

And if you are at all sloppy about the mechanics of the LLC- separate accounts from your personal, record keeping, etc, then you really have no protection at all.

@Ned Carey once the deed has been recorded in the city/county would the lien purchaser need anything else to put the property on the market?

Christina, to maintain the integrity of this thread, I'm in favor of continuing to drill down in the original topic; use defaulted tax list(s) as a lead list to generate bargain buying opportunities prior to tax sale.My strategy has always been simple: an initial letter (or postcard) to make the owner of record aware of the situation.

However, in this case a filing often needs to be made with the county recorders office to remove the deceased’s name from the title so that a sale can occur.With ONE exception, if the personal representative (executor) wishes to sell real property that is part of the probate estate, the property can ONLY be sold with Court approval and notice to those who have an interest in the property – and the sales price MUST be for at least 90% of the appraised value.That ONE exception is where the personal representative has been given authority to act under the Independent Administration of Estates Act (IAEA), AND, the property is not being purchased by the personal representative or his/her attorney.
