., if the house is worth $10,000 and they owe $5000 in back taxes, offer $5000 plus you assume the back taxes. he is a trick not mentioned yet. some, not all, local governments will allow the owner to make a payment arrangement on the back taxes. you simply just have to go into the treasurers office and ask. here in western new york, there is one local that will allow you to put just 25% down and make payments for the next year and a half. you do NOT have to tell the current owner about this. if you structure your deal to include you assuming the back taxes, you are not stating that you will pay them up front, you merely stated that you will assume responsibility for them. check with the local authorities and see if you can work such a deal
