No. Some distressed properties are physically sound but financially or legally distressed because of delinquent taxes, liens, litigation, family disputes, or title problems.
We usually make cash or structured offers within 24 hours after viewing the property and reviewing key records. Complex tax deed, title, or litigation matters can require attorney review before final terms.
