Pre Tax Sales

[forcantel]

I'm new to tax sales, but I have experience with rentals and other real estate.  My question is regarding contacting the registered owners of the property that is scheduled to go up for tax sale and entering into an agreement with the owner to purchase the property and pay off the tax lien prior to closing.  Has anyone done this, is this common, are there any pitfalls, drawbacks, legal issues in doing this maneuver?  Has anyone had success doing this?  Thank you all for your responses in advance.
