I don't know of anywhere where you get instant ownership of the property from a tax sale.Usually there is a "redemption period" (what you referred to as the property was reclaimed, which may be the correct term for your area?)

Brian refers to this as "hardball".

Tony, I have several people I can refer you to!

Did they they require any references like subcontractors names?

If you ever need references for calculating numbers and such, there are tons on here but I can help direct you to them if you can't find them.

Get client references and always consult with your personal tax/legal advisors.Best of luck 

I do plan on negotiating and honestly after all is said and done if they refuse to budge then I will just have to refer them to a realtor but I will be sure to explain to them that if they want to get money by listing it they are gonna have to do repairs themselves and she already stated to me she doesnt want to do that.

It is still a great reference and I think it has most if not all of what you are looking for.

I even bookmarked it so I could reference it in the future.

I have a potential tenant that filled out an application and everything seems ok except for the rental references; he claims that he has never lived on his own.
