Is that because the original TC holder gave up paying the subsequent taxes, thus a new TC went up for auction?

In October, there is subsequent tax due of $1000 on that property.

You're not actually selling the properties and then subsequently buying vacant land in a deferred exchange. 

Tenant didn't call me about THAT piece of mail (she was subsequently evicted for a variety of reasons).Point being - forward the mail, but it's pretty much impossible to stop it entirely, unfortunately.

Congrats on building a sustainable real estate enterprise.

You can likely take a trip to the office yourself or mail in the document to the right address, but you may prefer the peace of mind having a professional see to it for you.There are several more items, but perhaps the best practice is to gain professional help for the first go-around, learn the process and depending on how complicated you deem it to be, decide either to do it yourself or continue to get professional help on subsequent properties. 

The tenant can't get kicked out at a moments notice if there is no auction date assigned and the lease is short term or month to month.I agree, there are wrong ways to do this...but there is subsequently a right way.

At first it might be a little slow as you are still learning but for subsequent ones be ready to move quickly.I second what J says about getting licensed, we are still working on that.

Tigrent Inc. was incorporated in 1996 as Gimmel Enterprises, Inc. in the state of Colorado.

Tax liens are a higher priority than mortgages, therefore, if you foreclose on the lien at the end of the redemption period, you wouldn't have to pay off the mortgage, you would only have to notify the bank and all other lien holders of the foreclosure (see statute per state) before you will be able to foreclose and receive a tax deed (which will need to be cleaned by an attorney $1,000-$3,000).When you foreclose you will ONLY have to pay off the liens that are ahead of yours, as well as other tax liens purchased by other investors in subsequent years. ie. 2 year redemption period, you buy lien from 2010 due tax, and another investor buys 2011.
