This is called "wealth transfer", its how the rich will eventually own everything. You dont think itll happen to you? Just you wait and see. They can raise taxes as high as they need because they have all the money. Blackrock, vangaurd anyone?

[@bettycannon6473]

I live in Michigan. There is a house on each side of me that really should be considered abandoned or not liveable. The houses are bringing the value of my house down . If I tried to buy them on tax sale, I would have to pay to tear them down. And then pay the taxes on parcels that really aren't worth the taxes. I wouldn't mind having room to build a garage. We mowed the lawn for 20 some years. It was bought on tax sales twice, and both times forecled for tax delinquency both times

[@Retipster]

Have you considered contacting the owner and making an offer? It's pretty to do with an app like DealMachine: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o365fZuVd96mptUsi=G5tQ2tfkmfQYR-Ag

[@jwalters1204]

There is such a thing as due diligence title research, lien history, environmental liens, IRS liens etc. if you don’t get as much info as you can then a bad deal is on you

[@davidalmeida4584]

Hello! I’m new to this business and I’d like to know what would happen with the tax that wasn’t payed? I’m mean, the existing debit. The bidder has to pay for it?

[@Retipster]

Yep, that's the purpose of the minimum bid amount, to ensure that the delinquent taxes are paid in full. Anything in excess of that amount will just be money in the county's bank.

[@jessofferman9494]

Was wondering the same

[@milfinu]

QUESTION: *Can you please help me understand this ? (Here are the rules in my Tax Deed State State)* 7. Upon receiving payment for the real property sold for delinquent taxes, the Property Tax Division shall execute and deliver a deed to the purchaser. Until a deed, which consummates the sale is received from the Division, a successful bidder has no right of entry to property purchased. The deed conveys all the former property owner's interest in the real property as of the date the state's lien for real property taxes arose in accordance with the Property Tax Code, subject only to perfected interests in the real property existing before the date the property tax lien arose. The property tax lien against real property arises on January 1, of the tax year for which the taxes are imposed. The State of * * * * warrants no title to property purchased at public auction sale.

[@Retipster]

What is your question exactly? What are you having trouble understanding?

[@michaelrivera9268]

Great video bud. So with all the buds together is that the total amount you actually have available to invest?

[@DanielGrows]

You’re not running title or lien search?

[@Retipster]

A tax sale wipes out any/all prior ownership or claims on the title, so a title search wouldn't serve much purpose.

[@DanielGrows]

@@Retipster oh I didn’t know that, thanks. A lot of the FL county websites have warnings suggesting to run title and lien searches before bidding.

[@jorgepaula7146]

aqui en miami cuando compras por tax deed desaparece la hipoteca si o no garacias

[@Retipster]

Se supone que un tax deed extingue cualquier hipoteca o registro, sí (esa es mi respuesta no legal y no de abogado) :)

[@edwardduffy9395]

In Florida, when homeowners don’t pay property taxes, tax certificates are sold first. If homeowners don’t take advantage of redemption, the tax certificate holder can file for the home to be sold in a tax deed auction. I’m not sure what state you’re in but you skipped straight to the tax deed auction.

[@Retipster]

Yep, the process varies depending on whether you're in a tax deed or tax lien state. Michigan is a tax deed state. Florida is a mixed state. You can see how every state works on the map on this page: retipster.com/tax-deed-auction/

[@thesyndicatepodcast9672]

What website do you search on?

[@robertsaunders5755]

Can an “overage” be collected for the homeowner if the property sells for more than the tax amount due? Does the tax deed show how much it sold for at the auction? If not how can the amount it sold for be found out?

[@Retipster]

Making money from "overages" can work in some states, but a lot of states won't allow you to do this at all. You can find out in which states this works here: retipster.com/tax-sale-overages-excess-proceeds/

I have invested in tax liens and made some money but tax deeds I've tried that $90 to 100% of the time the houses are run down that nobody wants these people have taken advantage of the mortgage and other liens and they also come with liens you don't get a a fee simple clear title you get a quick transfer title and the sheriffs or the deed have other means and mortgages and or lawsuits and you can't find that out until you hire an attorney and pay $3,000-5,000 to clear the title from any liens ....just remember you really don't know if there's liens because it's a sheriff's deed or a quick deed it's not a free and clear deed so know!!!! I don't think he's explaining that to you you can Google the process really!!!!.... I just you know non-disclosure to me is the same as lying

[@henriquecordeirodemacedo1982]

Hi there, so there is no way to find out any issues tha the property have before the auction? I live outside US and ita hard to understand the process. Thanks

[@XavierIsraelMatamoros]

Thanks for the video! Just wondering what the competition is like? Are there a lot of deep pockets, such as hedge funds/big money corporate investors that can easily bid most people out?

[@Retipster]

The competition is pretty intense. I have no idea who the other bidders were or how deep their pockets are (the website protects every other buyer's identity), but it was MUCH harder than the tried-and-tried land flipping model I describe at: retipster.com/land-flipping-lifecycle

[@XavierIsraelMatamoros]

@@Retipster Thanks Seth. Even in Iowa (bid down % process-yeah it's a weird system), the competition is fierce and the deep pockets are many, but it truly is random luck of the draw. The downside is most bid down eventual ownership to 1%. Try foreclosing on an unredeemed parcel for just 1% ownership value. The tax delinquent owner then still retains 99% ownership. I guess you could offer to buy him out. I don't bid on online auctions anymore.

[@deltalima1340]

Ya....this is how blackrock and vangaurd will buy up your house one day. They will raise rates and taxes through the roof and you will suffer like the rest of them. How come people cant see the absolute evil in this?

[@Aubatron]

One thing that confuses me is the online bidding. Say the start bid is 1,000, and you put in a bid of 10,000. I’ve heard people say that if the second biggest bid is lower than the bigger bid, the winner will only have to pay a few hundred more than the second highest bid, and not their full bid amount. Is that true?

You mentioned the 80 acres being competitive. Curious how high do plots of land like that typically go vs actual market value?

[@Retipster]

Good question. "Market Value" is very subjective to begin with on vacant lots like this, but I found that they can very easily get bid above market value when all is said and done. Especially with BIG, desirable parcels like this, unless you get very, very lucky, the competition very quickly kills any would-be good deals.

Can we attend tax sales without bidding? Are they open to the public in person?

[@Retipster]

I believe so. It's not hard to attend them and see what properties are on the table. The only downside is, you can waste a lot of time if you don't walk away with anything.

[@Alyboy81]

I'm really interested to get back in this real estate world but I really wants to lands deal to eliminate all the hustle when it to house. So my question to you would be what's the big difference between tax deed at the auction or OTC compare to sending blind letters to acquire the land and wholesale it? Which one you think is a lot effective for beginners? I want to make the right decision to start this time. @REtipster

[@sandraanderson5849]

DO YOU PARTNER WITH THOSE THAT FIND LEADS SKIP TRACE AND SPEAK TO OWNER= THANK YOU

[@ianforsyth2692]

Excellent video. I have one burning question: Do you actually go and look at every property that you want to bid on? I'm curious about this because I'm potentially bidding properties in a county that's a 3.5 hours drive from where I'm at. Or do you wait until after you've won--and deal with any surprises. In a way, it's an economic question for me, if I'm spending a lot of money to acquire the land at auction, then I'm more likely to visit it beforehand to see if there are any red flags, but I'm curious about your process.

[@Retipster]

Definitely not. I can see why you ask (it's a good question)... but for the reasons you stated, it's very, very inefficient to do that for every property, since you probably won't win most of the ones you bid on (at least... if you do it the way I did). My approach is to just make sure it's a slam dunk deal if/when I have the winning bid, even if some oddball issues do come up.

This series, is BY FAR the best on KZbin! So far I've seen hours and hours of info on subject, most of is self promoting material to rump up sales of super expensive courses. You material is straightforward and all clear and organized. I felt great to find out that I developed similar way of thinking and research you were presenting, looks like I am on the right truck. For sure will be rewatching the whole series. I am in CA so no competition, but one burning question: What happens when you bid of several properties and you win few? You'll have to pay for all of them?

[@Retipster]

Wow, really? Thanks so much! I'm so glad you found it helpful! Yeah, I think you'd have to pay for whatever you end up winning. If you don't, then you wouldn't get the deed. If you have to put up some deposit money in order to bid at all, and if you didn't end up paying for the whole property, then I imagine you'd probably lose your deposit (I'm not speaking from experience, though, I haven't worked in California like this).

[@paulromano5137]

Hey Seth, just emailed a bunch of counties in a tax lien state trying to get their delinquent tax roll but was generally directed to lists of properties with tax liens. Does the mailing the owners on the delinquent tax roll for tax lien states still work, or is there an extra level of liens that I would have to buy if the property owner agreed to my offer (after I sent out a mailer and get a response). Thanks

[@Retipster]

Hi Paul, it sounds like whoever you talked to at the county is misunderstanding what you're asking for (which isn't uncommon). You basically need to re-explain yourself to clarify what you're asking for and/or ask to talk with someone else (possibly in the IT department) who can help you get the list. It's super annoying, but a lot of people have a hard time understanding this request. Does it still work? Yeah. There are pros and cons with the delinquent tax list... one of the pros is generally a higher response rate, which means you can usually get more deals with less mail (not always, but often). Some of the cons are that it's usually more difficult to get, messier to sort through, and there can also be a lot of junk properties on the list as well... so you kinda have to pick your battles.
