I would not buy a home without a title search and inspection no matter what they were asking. You could wind up owing more then the house could ever be worth.

I wonder what the neighborhood looks like around it. Interesting little house, though.

She must pay about $850 in back taxes and yard cleanup costs.

If it has an underground oil tank that could be a huge expense if it is leaking.

You'd be lucky if you didn't dig up any needles, get robbed, or got caught in a gang war cross fire. Remember do your research! Where the right colors! :D

most homes in the north either use propane, natural gas, or fuel oil, they didn't bury the tanks

Not necessarily true ! I had a house here in WI that had a buried fuel oil tank. Before I sold the house, I had it removed and certified "clean" by a state-certified "tank remover".

Now, there's a guy makin some money. He and his wife each drove a truck w/ a long flatbed trailer. You provide your own excavator. For his (not-so-small) fee he validates the removal and the state of the surrounding and underlying soil, and hauls the tank away. Between the two of them they had about $6,000.00 worth of tanks on their trailers for a single days work..........................

Had the soil beneath the tank been contaminated (leaking tank) my costs to 'remediate' would have been horrific. Thankfully, that was not the case.
