Do you bid an amount higher than the amount of taxes and fees owed?
OR
Do you pay the amount of taxes and fees owed and bid on the amount of interest you are willing to recieve?

I want to buy tax liens with the hope of eventually owning some of these properties, but I'd like advice on how to evaluate the risk of high repair costs between 5-6 promising properties. I've researched liens for s...
Hey all,
I have researched this topic for a while and have few questions I want to clear: 1. Once the auction starts, does the site only bid up to my maximum bidding limit? The sites didn't prompt me to set up my ba...
