Honestly, you could probably camp there for free so why bother owning and paying property taxes on it.
Take the 10 grand and go to a 5 star resort in Hawaii.

General / Re: Help! Need advice regarding a crown lien on the tay property.

Worldjohn:
Do not proceed until you get a written confirmation that the crown lien will be removed. CRA officers are tax experts but not lawyers. You would hate to have gotten a verbal opinion from a guy that is not familiar with the nuances and have his supervisor rule against you a month later. These guys are sneakier than lawyers and real estate agents combine. (threw that one in for PFM)

Property Information / Re: Niagara Falls..Just taking out the Garbage again.

The dirt bags that run grow ops usually use newer homes for their endeavors.
I have never understood how the city comes up with their minimums. The taxes could be no more the $3000 a year on this dump plus tax sale costs. They are selling the packages for $10 so much would a couple of adds in the paper cost. PFM, what other stuff might be included and could the previous owner contend these high costs. Adding hydro on to the minimum is a sneaky way getting their money as it wouldn't survive as a lien on a tax sale.
Assuming its a disaster inside its probably not worth more than 100K minus any oustanding orders.

They don't include execution searches on the owner with is something you definitely need.
Also you are on your own trying to decipher it.

Property Information / Re: Niagara Falls..Property visit

Had some time today to vist two local properties
4840 Willmot Street - This is an empty lot across from the Niagara Falls Review building. It is in a poor section of town surrounded by 80-100 year old homes. There is a laneway on the east side that may be a problem in terms of setbacks otherwise it seems buildable.

5012 St. Clair - I had to venture into the "hood" to check out the next one. This place could be a slumlords paradise. The building seems solid enough. The roof is shot so I suspect there are some issues on the inside. It is vacant but not for long as the satelite dish on the side looks new. Could have been a crack house but doesn't seem completely trashed. As small garage on the side is falling over and full of crap. There was a poster on the door from the city but as I approached the door to read it a big dog came from next door with an eye for a piece of my rump. I made it back to my car only due to my Ben Johnson speed. If you are interested you should contact the city to see what the order was as it could be a deal breaker.
I will try to post some photos wish me luck as I have never done this!

I have no immediate interest but has anyone pulled the title on the Tanet Lake property. If it indicates part ownership on Block X then if you win the tax sale you automatically get your name on the deed of the waterfront block. Won a back lot last year in a similar situation and it was no problem but the lake front block was only split 6 ways with the township one of the owners.
I am assuming that the guy that is losing his property has already paid the $5000 back when the lots were created. Comments?

Now I know for sure I am not in the same league as you pros.
My 16 ft canoe wouldn't be allowed into your boat club.
I will admit the wife and I christened it back in our younger days when we were a lot more agile.

I didn't realize this was the case. Has it happened to you? This may have implications to a property I am currently considering?
