IRS liens and tax deed sales

[Carol Venolia]

Have you ever purchased a property through a tax deed sale that had an IRS lien? If so, did the IRS buy the property from you?

I'd love to hear stories about this. How often does the IRS actually exercise their option to buy? How much did they pay, relative to what you paid? How quickly did they buy after you purchased the property? What did I forget to ask that's relevant?  :-)

Thanks for sharing your experiences!
