Marketing pending tax foreclosures

[Jim Viens]

Just got the new list of properties for the upcoming tax foreclosure auction. My state has an absolute auction that provides lien-free title to the property (with the exception of Federal liens). I'm wondering how I should market to these. Do I mention the pending tax auction? Or just market with the standard "Cash for your house"? I obviously need to play up to the urgency as the auction is in two weeks.

@Jay Hinrichs I know that all too well and am working toward having that available cash for just such occasions. I would love to be able to tell someone I can give them $2,500 or $5,000 or more cash in their pocket today rather than let their house go to auction and they get nothing. And I have the knowledge/resources to be able to perform title searches before I make such an offer so I can avoid the problem of liens on the property when I buy it. Just have to get over the hump.
