Philadelphia area, question about my first sheriff sale purchase
hello everyone. After going to the Montgomery county sheriffs auction many times I finally purchased my first property there. Did the proper research, the only mortgage on the property was the the one that sent it to auction. The back taxes owed fairly minimal. My question is how soon can I start working on the house? I am going tomorrow to pay the remaining 90% of the purchase. It is vacant. And the amount of trash I need to remove from inside is un real. Thanks for reading! Any extra advice from people who have bought this way in Pennsylvania and especially Montgomery county would be appreciated!
