ok i got a whole list full of houses that have tax liens on them. it also says 10 day notice list.....it gives the adress, total prop charge,DEP water charge, and all other charges.... now ....what exactly am i looking at? is this what the house is being foreclosed for? how would i go about finding out about these properties? any info is greatly appreciated
This might give you a clue as to what you are looking at.
If you got it off the internet, this could be anything posted by anyone, including properties that they may or may not control and are trying to either sell or connect sellers and buyers together for a fee.
i called 311 (information) and was looking for the county clerks office and i was redirected to this website. its actually a (.gov) website for my state. any more info that is needed please ask.....
sorry, but we can not give you any help with your question as to what you are looking at unless you tell us exactly where you got it so we can also look at it to give you some advice. You could also upload the list as a document here so that we can see and tell us what you may have.
We will not play the guessing game with you where we guess the questions and you answer vaguely.
If you want answers give us enough information that we can help. Otherwise I can only think that you are just trying to lead us on.
Hey, Charles! I don’t have experience buying tax liens, so anyone who does, correct me if I’m wrong. Tax lien auctions are different from foreclosure auctions, although they both happen at the courthouse steps. One is a delinquency on taxes and the other is a default on a mortgage. You need to be well-capitalized and be at the courthouse steps of many different localities. When you buy a tax lien, you need to pay off the homeowners back taxes. Then you need to hold the lien for months, if not years. A majority of the homeowners resolve their situation by selling their home or paying you for holding their tax lien. Most people in the tax lien business by boatloads of tax liens and make their money by the fees paid by homeowners to resolve their situation. Once in a great while, like a needle in a haystack, they get a house for pennies on the dollar. There are better ways to make money in real estate!
hey guys sorry i was at work just got home actually, I didn't mean to be vauge i got the info from www.nyc.gov i don't exactly know where but i know it comes up in a excel file and it was in staten island .....i think i was getting in over my head with it... all i really wanted to do was find out where the county clerks office was so i can look at some pre foreclosures. but all i get is numbers that are out of service..... go figure,....
Tax foreclosure sales are the government forclosing upon the taxpayers property. It is a type of forclosure the same as all other type of foreclosures except it is tax based instead of mortgage based.
Tax forclosures are always in first position and have a guaranteed amount of interest upon the "winning bid".
But because this is a CITY list you may still have to deal with COUNTY taxes that may be due. All governmental agencies have the right to foreclose upon the taxpayers property. So it is possible that the county and the city both sell the same property and the courts have to decide which have the higher claim if indeed two different people buy the liens.
