You should be able to use this site to input the address and see if taxes are due and have been paid (I'm assuming). Maryland had a similar site and that's how I research if taxes are paid on a property.

Have any of you driven through or been to Trenton 
I would never live there. Place is fukked. Good luck though, you can probably rent it out for about $800 or $900 a month, that's considered cheap around there

damn...
Sit on it , then flip it when the tide turns...
Don't want to be negative, but the tide will probably never turn in Trenton
Sounds like he got a place around the station, those houses/apts are nothing but traps and gang hangouts
Oh yeah and there's always a bunch of homeless people wandering around
Good luck, OP
I think that's a waste of money. From what OP described, no one is buying in that area. Might as well sell it to a drug dealer for $3k and they can use it as a stash house
You only pay when it gets sold. Plus he's not out there to wheel and deal in person so it's better to have a professional handle it. Especially if there's no one out there he can trust. Usually you obtain a higher price for real estate when using a pro.I think that's a waste of money. From what OP described, no one is buying in that area.

Really depressing place overall. Sad to see our folks struggling like that.

What if a bunch of us coli brehs bought properties in this area and started fixing them up?
This sounds like a good idea.
My only real concerns would be back taxes and the costs of demolishing a home if needed.
An ex of mine paid about 2500 for a house in a hood in Pa and paid about 4k+ to knock it down. But I guess if we had cash to rebuild it may be with it.

OP, before you start to do anything, you need to do a title search and lien search on the property. Typically these properties not only have back property taxes due (this can add up to a LOT of money), but city code violations, outstanding mortgages, utility balances, permit violations, chain of title could be clouded, etc.
Typically the investors I work with do this kind of due diligence before they buy any property, but shyt, for $200, it might be worth the risk. But in case it's not, don't go dumping money into a property you'll never make money on.
Use a site like this to obtain the title history: https://www.propertyshark.com/info/property-title-search/. If you want, PM me and I'll give you my email address and you can send me the report and I can let you know what came back on the search and what it means.
