Paid Taxes To Pull 5 Homes From Auction/ IRS took them anyway
A seller in Wichita Kansas was arrested for something serious enough to have to sell his homes. 5 homes had 10,999.00 in taxes due or they would be up for tax foreclosure / auction on the May 31rst. On May 30th I sent the taxes due to the title company to pull the homes.
On June 5th the judge order all his properties seized.
What can I do to get these deals closed?
I would think the state is going to auction the homes for pennies on the dollar wouldn’t me having a signed contract from the sellers lawyer, paying the taxes and opening escrow show on file ?
All advice on this will be well observed.
