How Do I Get Started?

Serving Tax Sales Investors Since 2005

 How do I get started?  I don’t know anything about tax sales

 

Here are some steps to take in order to become thoroughly familiar with how tax sales work.

First, spend some time reading over the following items on our website:

1. You don’t need a membership to be able to purchase properties that are being sold for taxes by a Municipality. If you are new to this sort of thing I recommend that you read the 2 links below first, before you purchase a membership to decide if buying tax sale properties is right for you:

To learn more about what a tax sale is, please read the following:

To understand how to buy a tax sale property, please read the following:
https://www.ontariotaxsales.ca/how-to-buy/tax-sale-by-public-tender/

About 99% of tax sales are done by public tender (as opposed to public auction).

2. After that, please read the information that is available by clicking on HOW TO BUY > FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Once you have read all of this, you will be well equipped to make informed decisions about tax sale properties.

Also, once a week we send our paid members a newsletter with current tax sale listings.  Membership also allows you access to over 6000 Tax sale results dating back to 2006. These tax sale results will help you get a good feel for the market.

You can always follow us on Twitter or Facebook as we post every single tax sale.

Our current listings can be found under the top menu TAX SALE PROPERTIES

A tax sale purchase in August 2019 with a tender of $22,432 turned into something remarkable. The property later sold on the open market for $892,000 in August 2020 and is now valued between $2 million and $3 million. It is an example of how the right tax sale opportunity can create long term potential for buyers who recognize hidden value early on.✅ To explore active listings, visit ontariotaxsales.ca. #ontariotaxsales #propertytaxsale #ontario ...
