How Did You Acquire This Property? Why Are You Selling It?
I manage a portfolio of tax lien certificates in over 40 counties in Florida. A tax lien certificate is basically a loan that is made when a property owner is unable to pay their property taxes. These tax liens are made by the County Tax Collector, and then the tax collector sells the liens to private investors (like me). These tax liens pay interest just like a mortgage or other loan. When the property owner pays off his delinquent taxes the tax lien is automatically paid off. However, once in a while an owner does not pay the delinquent taxes. In this case a foreclosure is begun and the property is put up for sale. I acquired this Lot in this manner.
The prior owners Clarence & Ruth Touhey purchased this lot in 1974! Clarence passed away in 1991, and Ruth passed away in 2002. The property taxes were paid until 2005. Tax liens were issued directly from The Osceola County Tax Collector. A foreclosure process was started on the land, and since the taxes remained unpaid, the Osceola County Tax Collecter transferred the property to me by Tax Deed.
​
I would like to reinvest my funds into other tax lien certificates as soon as possible, so I am offering this lot here at a deep discount.
​
I choose to sell my land directly (For Sale By Owner) to avoid fees. Realtor commissions, escrow and other fees can easily exceed $2,500. By selling to you directly, I can avoid most of these fees and pass a great deal along to you!
This Land Was Purchased Via A Tax Deed ...
What Is A Tax Deed and How are Tax Deeds Different From Other Deeds?
A Tax Deed is a specific type of deed that is only used when a property owner fails to pay his property taxes. A Tax Deed gives the County Tax Collector the authority to SELL the property to collect the unpaid property taxes. The County Tax Collector must go through a series of legal steps in order to issue a Tax Deed. These legal steps include notifying the property owner, applying for the tax deed, posting a notice at the property, and posting a public notice of sale.
​
Once a Tax Deed is issued and recorded the new owner is legally granted immediate possession of the property per Florida Statute 197.562. While a Tax Deed does grant the buyer immediate possession and immediate ownership, it does not give the buyer “marketable title”.
​
What exactly is “marketable title”? A property has a marketable title when that property can be transferred to a new owner without the likelihood that the ownership will be challenged, or that any other claims will be made on the property by another party. A Tax Deed property cannot have marketable title because a Tax Deed legally transfers ownership to the new purchaser on one condition…that condition makes the assumption that the County Tax Collector has followed all the legal steps that are required in order to issue the Tax Deed.
​
But what happens if those legal steps are not followed exactly? If the Prior Owner believes that an error has been made, then he can file a lawsuit to try to overturn or void the Tax Deed. Fortunately, Per Florida Statute 95.192, the Prior Owner only has four years to bring about a lawsuit to challenge or void the Tax Deed. Once those four years has elapsed the Prior Owner can no longer file a lawsuit, effectively eliminating that cloud on the title. This is why most Title Insurance Companies will not issue title insurance during the four year period after a Tax Deed has been issued.
​
Whew that sure was a mouthful, I think I sound too much like a lawyer … Let me further explain with a hypothetical example.
​
Let’s assume Mr. Smith owns a piece of land. Mr. Smith unfortunately gets into a car accident and he is in a coma. Because of the coma he does not pay his property taxes. Tax Lien Certificates are issued and two years later the holder of the tax liens decides to file a Tax Deed Application (Foreclosure). The Tax Collector goes through the legal steps and serves Mr. Smith with the notices, but because he is in a coma he cannot respond. The land is then sold via Tax Deed. One year later (or anytime up to four years later) Mr. Smith wakes up from his coma to discover that his land is gone. What can he do? Because a Tax Deed has been issued Mr. Smith can no longer just go down to the Tax Collector and pay his back taxes. Instead, Mr. Smith would need to get a real estate attorney and file a lawsuit (Mr. Smith would also need to pay all of the legal and court fees). Mr. Smith would plead his case to the Judge, and in this specific case the Judge would most likely overturn the Tax Deed. In this example the Judge would typically order that the land be returned to Mr. Smith, and that Mr. Smith would be required to pay back all the taxes and fees from the tax deed application (foreclosure).
​
When someone purchases a property via a Tax Deed they buy that property subject to the risk that at any time during the next four years the prior owner could file such a lawsuit in an attempt to challenge that Tax Deed. By purchasing this land from me you are assuming that risk as well. Because legal and court fees are expensive (about $2,500) it is very, very rare for a prior owner to try to overturn a Tax Deed, especially on lower priced properties.
The chances of a tax deed being successfully chalanged is very, very, very low!
​During the last ten years I have sold over 100 tax deed properties, and not one of my tax deeds has been challenged!
​But because this risk is present I aggressively price my land well below the current retail price levels.
Most people that buy land from me simply hold the land until the four year period passes
and then they can re-sell the land at full retail prices and can offer a warranty deed with title insurance.
​
Please keep in mind; one of the reasons this land is aggressively priced is because it was acquired via a tax deed.
​​
The Tax Deed On This Lot Was Recorded On 01/10/2023, So The Four Year Period Will End On 01/10/2027.
If The Prior Owner Did Not Pay The Taxes,
Does This Mean The Lot is Worthless or is "Swamp-Land"?
Technically this lot is swamp land, but this Lot is far from worthless! There are campsites throughout Suburban Estates, Many people purchase lots in the middle of the swamp just to get a gate key so they can go off-roding whenever they want to! You can purchase this access lot and come to Suburban Estates as much as you want. If you ever decide you no longer need this lot you can sell it if you want and recoup some or all of your investment!
​
If a family of four visit Hog Waller or a similar Mud Bog to go off-roading they will pay $20 each ($80 Total). Do that just once a month and you will spend $960 per year. Invest in an Access Lot and you can go off-roading whenever you want!
How Do I Pay?
​Buyer will need to send funds to my bank by wire transfer, or send cashiers check or money orders by mail. Buyer will need to provide legal name(s) of the new owner(s) and how title will be held. Once your funds have cleared I will prepare a quit claim deed and send it to Osceola County to be recorded.
I will pay ALL THE FEES for preparing & recording the quit claim deed.
​
WHAT YOU PAY FOR THIS LOT IS WHAT YOU WILL PAY! No additional fees will apply!
​
Please also note that Apps like Pay-Pal, Venmo, Zelle, Google Pay, etc. are NOT available for Real Estate Transactions (Their Rule Not Mine) So I am unable to accept payment via these apps.
​
Please also note: Local Pickup is not offered, Deed will be delivered directly to Osceola County to be recorded at my expense. You as the Buyer will only pay the purchase price--not one penny more!. I will pay all deed preparation and recording fees.
In most real estate transactions you will pay $500 or more for Deed preparation and recording, But not with my sales! I will pay ALL THE FEES for preparing & recording the deed. WHAT YOU PAY FOR THIS LOT IS WHAT YOU WILL PAY! No additional fees will apply!
What About An Escrow?
I am able to offer this lot at a deep discount by keeping the fees and costs low. Escrow fees can easily run $400 to $500. This is why I ask the Buyer to wire funds to my bank, or send a cashiers check or money orders for the purchase price. I am very trustworthy, Check out my feedback--well over 1,500 with 100% positive feedback!
​
However if you are concerned about sending money to someone you have never met before, I am not opposed to using a third party escrow service that will hold the money until the quit claim deed is recorded. I just ask that if you want to use an escrow service that you pay the escrow fees.
​
Any neutral third party escrow service would be fine, but I would recommend Safefunds.com, they work in the USA as well as 124 other countries world wide with complete transaction protection and secure payment services. They are a great company and they provide top notch customer service at the lowest prices I have found. Escrow Fee for this transaction using Safefunds.com would be just $65.
​
If you have questions on the Escrow Service please feel free to give me a call.
What About Title, What Type Of Deed Will I Receive?
You will receive a Quit Claim Deed which will transfer all of my interest in the property to you. A Quit Claim Deed is a valid legal instrument that is used to transfer interest in real property—it is just as valid as any other type of deed.
In fact, the most common deed used in Florida is a Quit Claim Deed.
I use a Quit Claim Deed because I acquired this land via a Tax Deed. As stated above, when someone purchases property via a Tax Deed they buy that property subject to the risk that at any time during the next four years the prior owner can file a lawsuit to attempt to challenge that Tax Deed. Since I can not guarantee that the prior owner will not file a lawsuit to challenge the Tax Deed I must use a Quit Claim Deed to transfer the land to you.
​
The Tax Deed which was issued by the Osceola County Tax Collector transferred 100% ownership of this land to me. I am now the owner of the land. When I record your Quit Claim Deed you will acquire all of my interest in this land, making you the new 100% owner of the land … in essence it would be just as if you had purchased the land from the Tax Collector yourself. Because I purchased the land via a Tax Deed I assumed the risk of the Prior Owner filing a lawsuit to challenge said Tax Deed. By purchasing this land from me via Quit Claim Deed you will be assuming that risk as well.
​
Because legal and court fees are expensive (about $2,500) it is very, very rare for a prior owner to try to overturn a Tax Deed, especially on lower priced properties; however it is a risk that you are assuming.
​
Please keep in mind; one of the reasons this land is aggressively priced is because it was acquired via a tax deed.
​
The Tax Deed On This Lot Was Recorded On 04/26/2023, So The Four Year Period Will End On 04/26/2027.​
What About The Property Taxes?
PLEASE NOTE:
The 2023 Taxes Have Been Paid,
The New Owner Will Be Responsible To Pay The 2024 Taxes.
The 2024 Taxes Are Just $9.73 For The Whole Year
The 2024 Taxes Are Not Due Until March 31st 2025.
What About Liens or Mortgages?
I acquired this land in a Tax Lien Foreclosure. The Tax Lien Foreclosure / Tax Deed Process eliminates virtually all mortgages and liens. ONLY IRS LIENS and some City/County/State liens can remain.
IRS Liens as well as City/County/State Liens are part of the Public Record in Florida. By entering the prior owner's name into the clerk of court's public records search the record will emerge.
​
Please do your own due diligence, the prior owner's names are Clarence & Ruth Touhey.
​
I have attached photos of the Property Information Report that was used in the Tax Deed Foreclosure, as well as a photo of the Prior Owner's Public Record.
​
The Prior Owner's Public Records are Super Clean, I did not see any IRS, City, County or State Liens.
I am Not A U.S. Citizen Can I Buy The Land?
Sure, I welcome International Buyers, but I do have some requirements. If you are a foreign buyer you MUST pay by either wiring funds to my bank (in U.S. Dollars) or obtain a cashiers check from CITIBANK, CHASE, WELLS FARGO or BANK of AMERICA and pay in US Dollars. You must send the funds via a method like priority international mail with tracking availability. Once your funds have cleared I will prepare a quit claim deed and send it to Osceola County to be recorded. I will pay ALL THE FEES for preparing and recording the quit claim deed. Deed will be returned to you by normal international mail (no tracking). You can also access The County Clerk of Court website to print a copy of the deed once it is recorded. Future property tax bills will be mailed to you by the county, or can be paid online.
​
If you are concerned about sending money to someone you have never met before, I am not opposed to using a third party escrow service that will hold the money until the quit claim deed is recorded. I just ask that if you want to use an escrow service that you pay the escrow fees.
​
Any neutral third party escrow service would be fine, but I would recommend Safefunds.com, they work with 124 countries world wide with complete transaction protection and secure payment services. Safefunds.com provides top notch customer service at the lowest prices I have found. International Escrow Fee for this transaction using Safefunds.com would be just $65.
​
If you have questions on the Escrow Service please feel free to give me a call.
It Seems To Good To Be True, What's The Catch?
I have tax lien certificates in over 40 counties in Florida. As a result of dealing with such a huge number of tax liens I occasionally will acquire a property for just the un-paid taxes and fees. When I acquire a property my only interest is to liquidate the property and reinvest the funds as quickly as possible. Because my cost to acquire the property is low it means I can pass along a great deal to you!
Why Don't You Sell The Property In The "Normal" Way?
I choose to sell my land directly (For Sale By Owner) to avoid fees. Realtor commissions, escrow and other fees can easily exceed $2,500. By selling to you directly, I can avoid most of these fees and pass a great deal along to you! Also, time is money! Selling vacant land at Full Retail Prices usually takes a very long time. I would much rather sell quickly and reinvest the proceeds into more Tax Liens.
