Buying tax deed/foreclosures

[Peter Gaines]

Hello,

I'm a new investor looking to learn how to buy tax deed/delinquent properties. Would a buyer of a tax deed be responsible for existing mortgages on the property? I'm in southern california and I can't afford to buy investments properties here since it's so expensive so I'm looking to learn about this process so I can start to invest in other states/areas. Appreciate any thoughts.
