Property with delinquent taxes

[Min Kim]

I’m looking into a property with delinquent taxes, property (duplex) is currently being rented out, but only one unit has been rented for years. Unit is definitely outdated.

Looking to make a strong cash offer to help them out of a bad situation.

- Should I just go through normal home purchase with agent? Ensure the seller pays taxes prior to sell.

- Try and do a Quit Claim Deed, give them a cash offer, and assume the taxes and pay them?

Avoid agent when possible, save the commission. That's what I do.

get a title company or attorney to do a warranty deed and title policy. Quitclaim is risky. After the title search, you ll know if there are any other title encumbrances.
