The IRS offers several guidelines to help you understand the responsibilities of owning a rental property, and the IRS website is a great starting point.

Hi everyone,I’ve been spending more time looking at tax deed and foreclosure auctions, and one thing that always worries me is making sure I’m not missing something during due diligence.Before bidding on a property, I usually try to check as much as possible, such as:unpaid property taxesliens (IRS, municipal, HOA, utility, etc.)code violationsopen permitsjudgments or court records tied to the ownerpotential mortgages that might survive the salecity fines or special assessmentsanything else that could become my responsibility after purchaseThe challenge is that this process can be pretty time-consuming, especially when every county website is different and information is spread across multiple places.I’ve seen some investors outsource this to lien search companies or hire people to research properties before auctions, while others seem to do everything themselves.So I’m curious how other investors here handle it.A few questions for those of you who regularly buy at auctions:What is your standard due diligence checklist before bidding?

Second, their website does not mention a single thing about COMPLETED projects.  

I was looking up the value through the County website. 

Anyway, I have been on lenders websites all day researching products they offer.

To that end, some assessor websites still have features that allow you to search sold listings to find comparable sales that way as well.
