Before you attend a Sherriff’s sale for foreclosed properties, what is the best line of defense when it comes to due diligence?
How do you find out what is owed on the property before you obtain the deed after the tax deed sale? I’m assumming that when you purchase the deed for the property that the new owner of that deed must settle all leins and claims, including the money owed the bank, after you purchase the deed from the County that now holds it against the owner for failing to pay their taxes.
Must you do a title search for every property you plan to purchase at a Sheriff’s sale?
What is the best way to obtain State specific information as it relates to Tax Deed sales?
I live in PA and they do not have Tax Lein sales only Tax Deed sales. How do I find the necessary information I need to go about obtaining these deeds? Are the ways to get your hands on properties by paying off the taxes and not be liable or required to pay any of the other leins and motgages owed?
Sounds like I may actually have Tax Deed sales and Sheriff sales confused. They are not the same thing are they? Which type of sale does the buyer become the owner of the property without any leins or loans to repay before doing so?
