I’m interested in purchasing a property through a tax deed auction, but I have a few concerns. If I win the auction, do I get full ownership of the property right away, or are there additional steps involved? How can I be sure there are no other outstanding liens or issues with the title? What should I do if there are occupants or tenants on the property after I purchase it? Additionally, are there ways to inspect the property before the auction to assess its condition, or is this usually done ‘as-is’? Finally, how long should I expect to hold onto the property if my goal is to make a profit?
