How can I confirm a foreclosed property is ready for resale when county records still show the previ

I’m looking into a foreclosed property, but the county records still show the previous owner, and I’m not sure if everything has been properly updated yet. I’m also worried there might be unpaid taxes or liens that could cause problems when I try to sell the property later.nnFor those who have dealt with foreclosure or REO properties, what do you usually check before putting a property back on the market? Do you wait for the ownership records to be updated first, or can you start checking for outstanding issues while that process is still going on?nnI’d appreciate any advice from people who have actually dealt with this situation. I’m trying to avoid delays or unexpected problems down the road.

I know it wouldn't give us an income like a rental, but it's also something we can afford and would hopefully gain value over time. Worst case, we would sell it in the future. So, is land a good investment?
