Tax appraiser website or county treasurer/assessor website will normally get it. 

I am located in the Treasure Valley (SW Idaho) and do all of my investing in the Boise MSA and Twin Falls MSA. 

Purchase price: $158,000 Cash invested: $30,000 Just purchased a condo in the treasure cost of Florida.

Call the county treasurer's office, or visit them in person, to obtain an accurate picture of what's going on here with the back taxes.

I decided not to go this route because you can’t rehab until the property is deeded to you (if that’s a word).Lastly, you can find properties that are behind on taxes on the Cook County treasurer’s website and search Annual Tax Sale or Scavenger Sale. 

I’m curious if anyone has any advice or has done anything like this in the Treasure valley/Boise area (where I live) and if so, I’d love to buy you a coffee or something and ask you some questions about it.

I invest in the Treasure Valley, would love to connect. 

The second approach would be to learn the ropes with a more experienced investor, and come away with a treasure trove of knowledge/experience.

If you are 16, ask your parents to add you as an authorised user on their credit card so you can start building credit. 

Just a couple months ago it was on the news that for supply to catch up to demand in the Treasure Valley an additional 10,000 units are needed.
