Tax Deed Sale and Title Search

Misty Quaintance
Posted

I've been to a few tax sales now and there have been 100's of properties. Out of these I'm usually interested in 20-50 properties. Do you realistically do a title search on 20-50 properties before bidding understanding you may only pick up a couple? I'm just wondering how most people handle this process as it seems like it could get pricey to do a title search on all the properties I may or may not get.

I never do title searches. I've been doing this for well over a decade. The houses I get are generally good to go due to string laws that mostly wipe out debts and mortgages as long as the county does proper notifications.
