My neighborhood is the “nice” one that is adjacent to the “bad” one. Soccer moms on my side, crack heads on the other.
My property happens to adjoin a property that is technically in the “bad” neighborhood, but is AT THE END OF A DEAD END ROAD and sees very little traffic. It’s ~1/3 acre, covered in brush and overgrowth., small house in unknown condition in it. I’m fairly certain it’s unoccupied.
The tax lien is less than $2K and as far as I’ve been able to determine there is no bank lien.
I’m thinking this is a good opportunity to accomplish a couple things:
- control who my neighbors are
- park an RV that is currently at a paid storage lot
- If the house is OK, maybe have as rental with close control
- clear it and put up a nice pole barn/shop
If I could end up writing a check for a few grand and own it, I think it’s a no brainer.
Has anyone bought from a Sheriffs auction before? What are the gotchas to consider?
