Los Angeles County Tax Deed Sale

[Josh Prince]

I see there is a LA County tax deed sale coming up in mid October.

There are some pretty nice properties that are being auctioned off for a few thousand or tens of thousands of dollars - should I count on the decent properties (i.e., those that are not plots of land in the desert covered in snakes and weeks) going for near market prices? Or is it possible to get a good deal at the tax auctions?

Has anyone had any experience successfully buying properties at the LA County Tax auctions?
