You can do simple research like looking up the address on internet, viewing online maps or looking up the assessed value of the property





Check property values of similar properties in the area to get an idea of the range of prices





Call / Email / Visit the city who is hulding the tax sales.  They may have additional details on file.





With a little bit of legwork you could visit the area where the property is and try to get a better understanding of the situation.  Be sure never to trespass, its better you are not seen or noticed and never talk to the owner.





You could go to pay websites that might have more information on the property such as photos





To get a full understanding it’s important to do a check if any liens exist.  This must be against owners and property to ensure you have all of the details.  Most liens will be removed but federal liens will not.





There was many online or in person title searchers available who can do this background check for a fraction of the rate of a full service lawyer.





DON’T BUY A PROPERTY WITHOUT DOING A SEARCH FOR LIENS.   It could result in a bad purchase when all factors are taken into consideration.
