General / Re: What cities or regions are you looking for a tax sale property in?

Brooke-Alvinston, Chatham-Kent, or Lakeshore.  Preferably #1 or #3 on that list.  Actually, I'm looking for anything inbetween London and Windsor, just so long as it's in a small town.

Hello, I'm new here.  (Yeah, duh, I know...  why else would I post here?)

I'm trying to figure out how to get started - I discovered this website trying to pull up listings for a property I'd heard was for sale near my sister-in-law's, it turned out to be a tax sale and was sold by the time I located it... at any rate, my original goal was to find a home to buy, fix up and live in - at a low price.  My husband is a contractor so we can do the work ourselves, it's just a matter of whether or not tax sale property is ok to buy for your own personal use or not.  By that I mean, would you recommend living in a home you purchased as a tax sale, or are there a lot of negatives associated with it?

Anyone have any opinions/experiences that they'd be willing to share?  Thanks!
