@RJ Reynolds thank you for the reply! So I have my Real Estate license in Texas. I know you’re in Massachusetts, however, if I were to represent myself would that then mean they need to have a realtor? Thank you!

When working to get an off market deal, to actually buy the property do I need to go through a Realtor? Does the seller also have to go through a Realtor? If not, is this the most common way with off market deals?

This was the case with another property I looked at.

@Jason Forgey Thanks! I'm in Harris County. I've been reading their laws and it can be confusing at times. Working on it!

I can't seem to figure out how long property taxes can go unpaid until the property goes to auction. I understand in many states it is from 6 months to 2 years. Does anyone know about Texas?

Hey Tyler, thank you for replying! I have access to that information because I have my real estate license. I do check the property on the tax assessor's site and then check the property on the MLS, sometimes owner names come up different.

Hi!

I am wondering if my process for finding possible deals, so far, sounds good to others with more experience. I find tax delinquent properties in areas I am targeting (driving/internet). Then I plan to contact them about how I can help relieve them from the burden of all the delinquent taxes + cash, help them move on in their life. What I've noticed is that, on the tax assessor's website, the owner's names is sometimes different from the MLS. This does confuse me when it comes to who owes, if they do actually even owe. By doing this I've found 16-17 properties in the very specific areas I want to buy. I do understand that this isn't new or unique. I'm just curious to what the smart, helpful, experienced BiggerPockets community thinks about this as a way to get a good deal for me, especially starting out.

Thank you!

I can ask my title company to do this before hand AND/OR they will do it regardless through the regular process. Also the only problem I can see is the deal not making sense because of however much, if any, is on the mortgage. Is this correct?
