Hello!

These forums are a great resource of information for those just starting out.  I recently just started and no deals YET, but I started driving for dollars and found an abandoned house and started my research.  The house is in Texas and the owner is deceased since 2018 and the taxes are building.  After reading other posts, I believe it will go to auction soon so I need to know what to do next?  The owner was married with a son so do I contact them and find out if they are interested in a deal?

yes contact them and let them know they will lose the property to back taxes and see if you can make a deal. unsure how Texas does their tax sales but in Iowa once it goes to the tax auction it is randomized so the chances of getting a specific property at a tax auction is almost 0%.
