Purchasing Property In New York State at Property Tax Auction

[Gail Aiken]

We were thinking about bidding on a property at a upcoming tax sale that we have viewed from the outside.  I had a paralegal do a search of the records at the County office.  I did not do a title search.  Please advise me if I am setting myself up for a big mistake.  I was reading that there could be problem selling the house because of the title and getting title insurance.  Thanks for setting me straight.
