Private purchase of property if it's listed for auction?

Question

Hey guys, my question is...Is it possible to privately purchase a property that is

already posted onto the sheriff sale list? There is a property in the

process of undergoing a tax lien auction but is currently in the

"Stayed" status. Was wondering if properties as such can be dealt

privately?

Depends on a lot of factors like which state you are in. Generally speaking in my experience you can buy the property before the sale and thereby pay what is owed. Just make sure you go through a title company to make sure the owner has the right to sell it and to not get surprised with any liens that may be attached.
