Tax Sales

A nurse I used to work with, lost her job in 2006. Because of major health problems, she was let go of a couple more jobs since. Now she is finally approved for disability. She has exhausted all of her retirement over the years because of her health.
She is now 3 yrs behind on taxes on her home, which is paid for. There is also a $20k lien on the property.

im in the midst of looking into getting a couple tax sale properties for my buyers...ill check with buyers here after i get the info for em....but im trying to understand this wording they use mainly....stuff like ....10% down, balance within 30 days cash, c check, m/o, purchaser must have deposit in hand at the sale...does that mean that i have to have the money at the end of the day or is there a 24 hours or do i have to have my buyer there while i bid...????
maybe someone else did a few that has some experience they could share to help a newb at this ???...and yes i have been to one lately...i still dont understand it

Does anyone know how you keep your real estate taxes from going up. When we bought our house in Arkansas, after about a year our taxes went up, but we didn't know this. We were told that our rates wouldn't go up unless it was due to insurance or taxes. OUr mortgage was based on the assessed value that the previous oweners had, but then it went up. Now we want to also go to the property tax office??? to make sure that we lock it in place as our predecesors did, so that we won't pay more. We don't know where to go or what it is called to do this however. Anyone know? Again we are in Arkansas. Hope this post made sense. Thanks. Tammy

Has anyone bought tax liens in Florida? I have been to several sales and have a question? When you buy the property , how long does it take to do the Quiet Title paperwork to get the deed? I had an attorney tell me 6 months but I know other people are doing it an reselling sooner than that? Please help?

There are seven steps that you need to follow in order to build a profitable portfolio of tax lien certificates or tax deeds. Regardless of which state you are investing in and whether you are investing in liens or deeds, you need to take these same seven steps. The details of how you accomplish each step may change depending on which state you are investing in and whether you are investing in tax lien certificates, tax deeds, or redeemable tax deeds, but the seven steps remain the same. In this article I will outline these steps and give you a brief description of each one.

Step One: Decide on the purpose of your tax lien or tax deed investment portfolio

I am fairly new to all this tax deed investing. So in my research there are question that came up? If one of you can answer them I would greatly appreciate.

1. South Carolina is an attorney state. So every real estate transaction is done thru and attorney. Do I need an attorney to do a quite title action on a tax deed?

2. Have any of you used an agency in California that promise to do a title search and provide title insuarnce without doing a quite title insurance. The are called tax title service. If you have let me know if you were able to sell the property with out doind a quite title action. They claim that it costs less and can me done in 60 to 90 days max.
