• While a payment plan might be a great idea for people having difficulty paying off their current property taxes, the same thing might not apply to those who have fallen behind and have a considerable amount accumulated in delinquency taxes, fees, penalties, and costs. • Before deciding if a payment plan is appropriate for you, be sure to understand what the entire owed sum amounts to, as well as how interest will continue to accrue. It’s important to understand whether you’ll be able to afford to make the payments, as required.
AUCTION THE HOME
Auctioning homes is steadily becoming more and more popular around the country, especially for those who are pressed by financial or personal matters to let go of the house and close a fast deal. People auction their homes in the hope of obtaining a fast sale at a reasonable price, close to the market value of the property. The timelines for house auctions vary. Auctioneers usually need around 40 days to effectively promote the house prior to the auction date. The final settlement might be signed anywhere in the following 40 days. The fact is, equity is frequently lost, as most homes up for auction generally sell far below market value. Auctions do not require the owner to do expensive home inspections or costly repairs. People are also happy because the process enables sellers to set the starting price of the auction, as well as the lowest price they are willing to accept. Auctioneers often recommend owners to set a 10 to 15% reserve below the market value of the property, meaning that the owner will very likely lose a considerable amount of equity upon the sale.
