Did you go to the tax sale this past December and have a chance to bid on the house you were interested in? I bought my first tax sale property this past year myself after several years of research and observance! I am a member of the Upstate Real Estate Investors Assoc and also a Realtor specializing in Simpsonville.
There is a one year waiting period where the original owner can redeem, pay you your bid price, plus interest. After that, you have to go through a legal process to get a QuitClaim Deed so that you have title to convey (sell). This process costs between $2500-5000 from what I understand.
I'd love to hear if you had any success, it's exciting. Feel free to contact me and check in.

Most times the builder has a loan on the property (construction loan). So even if the building has stopped, it doesn't mean a bank does not still own it. If you want to look into which bank may own the property, contact a local Realtor. I don't specifically work in Simpsonville, but my office is a member of the local MLS, so if you'd like assistance, contact me via my profile.

It takes a lot of time and patience trying to find houses at tax sales and most the time you are bidding against investors with cash money!

A very important thing to be aware of is the one year right of redemption period. Also you will have a tax deed, which you will need to get an attorney to clear up for you.

From what I seen, you need to wait about 5+ years before the gov. forecloses. Then you can go to the auction and have a bidding war starting at the amount owed. Unfortunately, I doubt you'll be the only bidder for at a $3,000 auction.
How do I get a house for the back taxes that are owed? 2 new houses were built and the builder left
