Can I sell a house with tax liens, code violations, or open permits?

Selling a house with tax liens, code violations or open permits is possible, but each one typically has to be resolved or accounted for at closing, since a title search will surface all of them before a buyer's lender approves financing. Some buyers, particularly cash investors, will still purchase with these issues unresolved at a reduced price. Brian Beatty identifies these problems early so a seller can decide whether to fix them or price around them.
