Would like to own my own place but don't have much saved up.  I hear it's possible to buy a property for just back taxes.  Trying to determine if this is sensible, and would like Dave or someone he trusts to help us if we go that route and we need a lawyer.

Buying a tax-delinquent property is possible, but it’s not as simple or cheap as it sounds. Most counties sell either tax liens (you earn interest, not the house) or tax deeds (you buy the property, often with serious risks). You’ll need cash, patience, and due diligence—titles, other liens, condition, and redemption rights can wipe out a “deal.” A lawyer isn’t required, but strongly recommended for first-timers.

Bottom line: it can work, but many beginners lose money without guidance.

Facing legal issues alone is never easy.
