Thanks, if I can ever afford a house, I won't buy it this way.

I'd never buy a car without taking it for a test drive first.

I'd never marry someone until.... Nevermind

The upside is that house/property can sometimes be purchased very inexpensively. But there is risk. Which is why the bank often ends up being the successful bidder, since no one else bids. If there is plenty of equity, usually those are the properties that you will see investors/house flippers bid on. But you don't typically see a lot of those, because if the house has lots of equity, the owner would be smart to just sell the home prior to foreclosure, and thus be able to keep the equity.

Let's also add that here anyway, county tax sales have no option to enter prior to purchase. They can look outside, but no entry. Not sure if that's the way it's done elsewhere, but it is here. Often those homes have occupants still.

yes, that is how tax sales work here as well. Years ago I helped a client (young husband and wife) with a property they had bought at county tax sale. It was awful, honestly should have just been condemned and bulldozed. AND the owner didn't want to leave. It was a nightmare for that young couple.

Those are the kinds of stories I have heard. I just had no idea if that was just the way it is here or everywhere or some places. Home flippers have gotten to where they REALLY study the outside because that can tell you a lot about the structure itself. Then they only bid very low to where they at last get the lot that already has all the utilities near so they can build on it for a decent price.

I think an experienced house flipper knows from the outside view if it is a good investment or not. You never know, of course.
