I intend to do so, just came about the site about 10 minutes before I posted.  Can you tell me if there is some sort of resource I can access, where it might be, that have new listings in BC? Thanks.

Questions and Answers / Completely Green and a Newb

Hello,

When I first heard about the potential of tax sales I admit, I was skeptical and investigating a bit further I was right. It was explained to me that people who default on their taxes would have their homes taken away from them and these homes would be listed in a local paper where others can bid on the taxes defaulted and if they are the highest bidder, will win the house. Obviously a few details were missing.

I've done a basic google search and after a few one-page sales sites landed here. I've followed up and read through a few of the free articles and am intruiged at the potential but I feel like I really need a basic education in this. Where can I go, resource can I get, book, site, etc?
In addition, is there a listing of tax sales that is constantly updated? I'm interested in British Columbia at the moment. The closer to home the better.  Is there a resource that lists up to date tax sales that I can find locally?

Thanks so much.

Jon
