Properties sold at a Tax Deed Sale are of remarkably good quality
Foreclosed and repossessed homes are flooding the inventory lists of banks, mortgage lenders and government offices as the housing market tumbles nationwide. There are advanced techniques where you can buy a good property for literally pennies on the dollar, free and clear, months before the tax lien or tax deed sales. The homes usually are in a little bit of disarray, but they can mostly be fixed by a qualified contractor. Treasurer / Tax Collector's office is that where you can find out how much property taxes each property owes and when the next sale (tax Lien or Tax Deed) is scheduled. Every month there are almost unknown government and surplus home auctions in every region of the United States. The purpose of these auctions is to sell these homes and get them of the books, fast! Tax liens and tax deeds are backed by the government. You can't get safer then that. Majority of properties sold at a Tax Deed Sale are actually of remarkably good quality. There are many subdivided lots in decent subdivisions for sale and quite a few Homes.
