Tax Deeds

Donna Freyman
  • Port Saint Lucie, FL
Posted

I am interested in investing in Tax Deeds, but I'm skeptical of the technicalities of it that I'm uneducated about. I've seen in other forums people posting to watch out for county liens, back property taxes, HOA debts, IRS liens, quiet title process etc.

My question is: how do I find all this information out? How do I find out if the property has county liens, back taxes, IRS liens etc... I am nervous about dropping money at an auction and later finding out I am SOL.

Also, after all the research I have done, it all says tax deeds are very state/county specific. I reside in Florida in Saint Lucie County, if anyone is familiar with this area I would love to hear from you!!

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance! =]

@Donna Freyman welcome to BP. If I were you, I would try and contact @Wayne Brooks. He is very knowledgable about FL tax deeds. If you were investing here in TX, I would advise you to search through the county clerk records for lien information. Once you've determined the properties your most interested in, that's when you should hire a title company to do additional checking.
