Each state has an office with a name that is something along the lines of "commissioner of land"...contact that office.  They can put you on a mailing list to receive notices when they are about to have the auctions.\n\nAnother thing you can do is look for pending forclosures in the newspaper.  They have to post it in the newspaper before they forclose.  If it is an old mortgage, call the homeowner and offer to take the note.  They can sign the house over to you and you can either assume the note or refinance to get it into your name and current.  This method was pretty much how I got my house, and the 27 thousand dollars equity that came with it.

try a run at foreclosed land - government auctions or vacate land in that region.\n\n\n\n\n\nhere's one to get you started.

When you purchase something at a "sheriffs sale" you buy, "as is".\n\nYou are also responsible for ALL the liens and loans on what ever you happen to buy.  Be it a parcel of land, a home or what ever.\n\nBack taxes are your responsibility also.  \n\nSo, its basically a "buyer beware" sort of deal.\n\nIf I were going to buy a parcel of land at a "sheriff's sale" I would go to the County Tax Asssesors, and see what the tax is for that parcel of land.\n\nThen, go to the City's Tax assesors, and see if there are any liens or loans out against the property.  Any overdue taxes.\n\nPlus I would also go to the Engineers office and see if there are any vairances on the property that may hinder you to buy..(such as a leeway for public utilities, or variance for some one to cross your property at will, as in a road or public right of way).\n\nWhen you go there, to the sale, inquire as to how they do it.  In my jurisdiction, the sherriff will offer the property up for sale once, at the 2/3 value, and if no one bids on it, then he will offer it up for what ever price some one is willing to pay for it, the second time.  (Thats when it usually goes for a lo less), so, ask before they start, and see what thier proceedures are...\n \nOh, you dont usually get to see inside the house that is for sale, so, its "as is" an can be completely wrecked, or be in good shape, it depends on how the previous occupants fared, like if they were being evicted, some people are not too kind to a property and will literally wreck the place... (Its a shame, but, it happens).  So, you take the chance....\n\nI wish you well..\n\nJesse

Contact the local county assessor's office.  Often times you can purchase the tax lien on the property and get an awesome return, if the owner doesn't pay off the lien then you can foreclose on the property.  The lien supercedes any other emcumberances, such as a mortgage.

I do not urge you to buy it for investment unless you want to move there,I do not trust the Government there.The only place that you can be safe to own a home and land is in U.S. and the rest take a hike because the government ownes everything and it can take over your home any time.( By law)

The question really is:  What town, city, region, state or area are you looking to purchase your land from?\n\nFirst -- when you get to the area (where you are interested in purchasing) -- go to the local restaurant, get comfy, get a good meal -- and usually close by their entry door -- they have a Magazine listing the local real estate agents, homes for sale, land offerings, and just pick up this free offering.\n\nThen ... go to your room (hotel) and spend the night going over the listings - tag the ones that look like good possibilities, and list them down separately -- these are the listings where you will start your search for property.\n\nAfter that -- the local phone directory will have listings for Real Estate Agents in the Business Directories -- and match them up to the properties you found.\n\nDO you know your approximate value of mortgage of pre-approval?  If not, it is worth your time to go to several local banks, and check out their mortgage programs, you know, interest rates, what they require for down payments, if there are any special programs that you may qualify for (like VA Home Loan Guarantees or FHA or FannieMae), and APPLY -- do that BEFORE going to the realtors.  \n\nWith this Pre-Approval, it is a good thing ... you can now comfortably work with all the Real Estate Agents that you choose, and ... most importantly, look at properties within your budget, and since you ARE pre-approved, everyone knows you can give an offer (if you find something that you like) and that offer can be different than the listed price.\n\nAlso -- look at what similar properties in the area are going for -- and if there is a big difference in the cost of the land -- find out why.

It depends on what you mean by a little bit. I would save up  five hundred and go to the county clerks office and get a copy of the property tax list what houses that had tax leins on them or were forclosed. Then go when the auction is scheduled and bid on a house that you want (you can get one for as little as 100 dollars if no one bids higher) fix the house up and 'flip' it. you could sell it outright, rent it out. If you are willing to get in there and get a good deal, it really isn't too good to be true. Give it a try. First step is to go to the county tax clerk office and take a look at the houses and auction dates/times. Good luck.

The Federal government does not collect property tax. So, there are not property tax sales.\n\nYou can find income tax forfeiture sales online by accessing the IRS online at the link below. You can also find other Federal government auctions by following related links once you latch onto the IRS'.\n\nI don't believe the Town of Athol auctions properties through a lien foreclosure sale. The town may acquire a property through non-payment, ad later decide to sell the property through the Board of Selectmen or Town Meeting. You need to contact the Athol tax collector for the process.

Things to consider. Sometimes the land maybe behind other land(owned by someone else)you need to make sure you also get access to your land. How close is power lines to your land (the power company might charge you the cost if the main is far away and they have to do extra. What about water, do you need to drill a well? sometimes water back East can be real rusty,orhave a bad sulphur smell Or if you are Out West does water rights come with the land or do you have buy them. Does the land have good drainage? Are the taxes paid up (if you buy it you become responsable for any back taxes).

I would probably first go to your city and county offices and check to see if there are any properties that they own that they are looking to revitalize and see if they can work out a deal for you even if it is temporary.  You might also want to go to the local chamber of commerce and see if they can put your need into their newsletter or other communications as some businesses may have space that they would be willing to donate as a tax write off.

I would be interested but im pretty sure that even though that you have the deed to the property doesnt the government have to make the final determination of whom can buy there.\nI remember something to that nature my ex saying.
