Why Does Everyone Freak Out over Back Taxes?

[Jill DeWit]

I have a good friend that was shocked when he heard I knowingly bought a property with associated back taxes. And it had YEARS of back taxes. I was thrilled! Why? Because the owner of the property had pretty much walked away from it and was about to let it go back to the county. He thought he had no other option and was ECSTATIC to sell it to me and get “something” for it.

I LOVE THOSE DEALS! Anyone else find this? Or been too nervous to deal with these properties?
