Watch Out For Property Taxes

Posted by SeanW on August 27, 2003 at 4:49 PM

I'd been kinda lazy about checking back taxes on my prospects. I figured, what's a thousand bucks or so of tax, in the grand scheme of things? Then I noticed a clean looking house go to sale at a reasonable price.

But, there were no bids-- and it went back to the bank.

When I checked the tax records, I realized they made the difference on this deal. (They hadn't been payed in 5 years, which came out to about 6% of the marketable value of the house.) Just enough, for the other investors to go thumbs down on that one.

I'm surprised this can happen. I would have thought a foreclosure would have started long before. Isn't paying tax (like keeping the property insured and repaired) part of the stipulations in a deed of trust?
