Greetings,

Re: Reply to GA Tax Sales

Although I have been involved with Tax Sales Nationwide for a few years now, I have not heard about the State of GA Delinquent Real Estate Tax Sales being halted. However, there was a county that stopped their Tax Sales for a few months (I believe this is what you may be referring to) as there were some questions being raised about the process or procedures. Since then, however, Delinquent Real Estate Tax Sales have resumed in that County and surrounding counties as well.

Remember also: GA has 256 Counties - A GoldMine of Opportunities.

Some of the most important aspects of GA Delinquent Real Estate Tax Sales are:

1. Tax Sale Investors or Buyers are not purchasing the Actual Property, but rather are positioning themselves as the 1st Person or Entity on Title to be Satisfied. You are therefore Paying the Taxes to the County at the Tax Sales. (DO NOT JUST GO AND PAY SOMEONE TAXES WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING THE PROCESS). Note: Your bid at the Tax Sale may exceed the actual amount of Taxes due. The bid amount is paid to the county; however, the actual owner or others who may have an invested interest in the property (e.g., Bank, Others who have attached a lien to the property, etc.) have one year to redeem it. They have to reimburse you, plus upto 20% (that's your profit if redeemed). If not, you begin the process of forever barring their right to redeem the property-which upon completion gives you actual ownership of that property.

2. Although, the law says Tax Sales are conducted every 1st Tuesday of the Month, not every county conducts a sale on "EVERY TUES of EACH MONTH". This law just means that when the county does have a Tax Sales, it must be on the 1st Tuesday of the Month. In other words, some Counties or Cities may have a Tax Sale once or twice a year - on the First Tues of a particular Month.

3. Successful Tax Sale Bidders are issued a "Tax Deed" subject to a one year redemption. Afterwards, the Tax Deed Buyer or Investor has another 45 Day redemption period - before he or she can take actual OWNERSHIP of the property (see the statutue or an Attorney-at-Law for more on that--- or contact me if need).

4. There are Non-Judicial and Judicial Sales. Non-Judicial Properties are subject to the redemption period while Judicial Properties are not.

Greetings,

Where (State, County and City) are you searching or seeking Foreclosure Informaiton?

Without knowing the area that you are interested in, it is a bit challenging.

However, I have experience that in some areas as well. In general, you can usually plug the Case# into the computer at the County and all the pertinent info. will be at your finger-tips.

Also, if you have a Parcel-ID# or APN#, you can plug that into the Tax-Assessors database and get the property address as well. Finally, if you have the Parcel ID#, etc. call the Tax Office in your area, and usually they are very helpful in telling you the info. that you need (address, etc.).

DelinquentTaxSaleInvestor,

PM/Email if need for more info.

This is a good question, so here is my response.

A Desire To Be Absolutely Financially FREE, including DEBT FREE.
A Desire To Be A Blessing To My Family and Others In Need
A Desire To Live A Successful Retirement Life (In My Golden Years)
A Desire To Control My Own Time/Clock (to an extent)
A Desire To Have Money Working for ME While I Sleep
A Desire To Never-Ever To Have To Worry About Money Again
A Desire To Play the Game of Real Estate and Win with Success
A Desire To Make Money by Buying and Selling R.E. & Exiting with CASH
A Desire To Pay-Back All My Enemies by Being Succesful - the few that I have, including those who disguise themselves as friends, but are foes

Finally, what got me started was all the jazz I heard and listened-to (from the Real Estate Gurus) about How Lucrative Real Estate is and What A Major Difference it can make in your life once you understand the principles, concepts, and strategis to Successful Real Estate Investing!

Re: Seven (7) - Powerful Successful Strategies for Finding Foreclosures-
In Your Area-Revised

1. Do A Google/Yahoo Search {(or Call Info-411 (http://www.411.com )} to locate the County or Courthouse Clerk (Recorders Office) in the area where you are interested in locating Foreclosures. Once you have the contact info., Ask for the name of the Legal Newspaper (Insiders Secrects) where Foreclosures are listed for the Next Upcoming-Sale. These are essentially Pre-Foreclosures (Properties Pending Sale due to Delinquent or Non-Payment of Mortgages).

FYI: Foreclosure Listings May Be Advertised Daily or On Certain Days only, so be sure to ask for the exact day that the listings are advertised. Also, ask if the newspaper has an online presence: If so, go-to the online website (see the hard-copy-Newspaper): Always look under the "Legal Section".

2. Contact A Respective Title/Insurance Company for a List of Potential Foreclosures.

FYI: It may be helpful to let them know that you also plan to do, including refer, future business with them .

3. Contact the Attorneys-at-Law who acts as the Trustee or who represents the Lenders for a listing of Pending Foreclosures.

FYI: This Info. Can Be Found in the Foreclosure Advertisement Section.

4. REO Bank Foreclosures: "Properties that are now owned by the Lender or the Bank." You must either contact that bank directly or seek a REO Specialists: A Real Estate Owned Agent or Service - who is now marketing the property for sale on behalf of the Bank or Lender. The beauty of buying directly from the Lender or Bank is that the property is cleared of all liens and encumbrances. However, always be prepared to negotiate on the price.

FYI: Contact a Real Estate Firm and Ask for a REO Agent or Specialist.

5. Also, be it known that there are Real Estate "Tax Sale Foreclosure" Auctions (Sale of Actual Real Estate Property due to Unpaid Delinquent Real Estate Taxes). These sales are also known as: Tax Deed Sales or Auctions, Tax Lien Sales, Tax Certificate Sales, and Tax Foreclosure Sales, etc. Point: Property in some cases is not actually sold, but rather the taxes are being paid to the County on behalf of the delinquent tax-payer. In exchange, you, the Investor, can earn “INTEREST” on your money. Also, there are sales; however, (namely) Tax Deed Sales, Tax Foreclosure Sales, and Special Tax Sales, etc. where Actual Real Properties are sold (Homes, Vacant Residential and Commercial Lots and Buildings, Mobile Homes, etc.) whereby you get a “DEED” to the property without having to wait-out for the Redemption Period to end.

FYI: Google/Yahoo "Delinquent Tax Sales" or other related terms for more info. on that as well.

6. Check-Online for a Reputable REO or Foreclosure Listing Service.

FYI: Be Careful as All Information from some sites are not current nor updated to reflect the most current and accurate info.

7. Network with Local REO Real Estate Agents, Local Real Estate Investment Groups or Clubs, etc. as some of these individuals are your Inside Connections to Access the Info. that you need to Succeed in your Quest for Success as You Invest In Real Estate for Profit (Dollars).

FYI: Remember: In Order To Make "DOLLARS" in Real Estate, the Deal has to really Just Make Good "Sense".

Hope this Helps You, DelinquentTaxSaleInvestor,

Re: Lis Pendens - Suit Pending Action; Forclosure Proceedings

There are a number of helpful links on the web, depending on the area of interest. Google/Yahoo "Lis Pendens" or other related terms (e.g, Mortgage Foreclosures, etc.). Also, you may want to contact the county or citys' Courthouse (Clerk) of interest and ask for the name of their Legal Organ or Newspaper (where Lis Pendens, Default Notices, or Mortgage Foreclosures are advertised).

Now, Once you have that (insiders secrets) info., contact the Newspaper either Online (See "LEGAL" Section) or Call 411 (Info.). Now that you have this info., seek or ask for the exact day that legal notices are advertised. Be Specific: Ask for Lis Pendens. Be advised that some people may not be familiar with this term; therefore, mention, if need, Mortgage Foreclosures, Trustee Sales, etc. -
depending on the state/county/city.

Finally, know that some newspapers have online sites; however, they may only advertise the listings on certain days of the week (while some may advertise them "online" daily or continuously - that is until sold or the next scheduled advertisment).

Hope This Helps, DelinquentTaxSaleInvestor
