Liens and deeds

Florida tax deed facts: the owner can redeem until the winning bidder's full payment reaches the clerk, and not after. Mortgages usually do not survive a tax deed; some government liens can. Title companies generally want a quiet title action or a title certification before insuring a resale.

Deeds, mortgages, liens and releases are on the county clerk's official records. Search by the address and by the owner's name from the appraiser record. A mortgage with no release after it is a mortgage still on the house.

Owner contact and a mortgage and lien check are on the Investor plan, 50 of each a month.

Rent it with a loan

Pro

ZIP rent and the same cost lines as the cash flow on every card. A lender sets the real terms.

Before you bid

The owner can pay up and cancel this sale right until the county takes the winner's money. In Florida there is no getting the house back after that.
A tax deed usually wipes out mortgages, but government liens can survive. You will likely need a quiet title action or a title certification before a title company insures a resale.
Nobody has been inside. Drive by. Assume repairs.
Read the county's deposit and payment rules. Most want a deposit to register and full payment within a day.
