How did you know where these properties where and what was on them?  Did you go visit the spots or did you use a map to find the location.  I tried opening the PC website but it's not opening at the moment?  I sort of know what's at each location just from being from the area, curious how you did your research so quickly.

Wainfleet... Interesting since I am from Port Colborne.  It's very near by.  It's my old neck of the woods.

Thanks for replying I appreciate it.  It would be nice to meet some people for a coffee.  That would be weird if people started showing up to auctions with little smiley faces!!  Could be quite amusing.  Once I get back in the Country/Canada I want to try and attend a sale to see how the process takes place.  So just to get a clear understanding. 

For sales - Individuals put in a  bid and later the township let you know if you won right.  There is no way of know what other people have submitted.  Do you find the properties sell for less/or more than the estimated price?

For auctions - People bid on the properties just like a regular auction?

I've been reading the message boards and find it all very usefull.  I am a newcomer to Tax Sales and am very interesting in finding out more info. 

Is there any seminars or group meetings that are held for people involved in these?  I've read several rich dad/poor dad books and agree that property is a great investment.  I just want to get a better understanding of what steps one should take to investigate the opportunitees 1st.  Step by step.
ie 1.finding the sales,  Is local newspapers and the Ontario Gazette the only options??
2. Investigation of properties?  Title search - Lawyer?

any help is greatly appreciated....  thanks
