Well despite all the inconsistencies in the info about some of these lots, I sent in 3 bids fairly blind.  Im hoping my very low bids will work in this new economic reality we're in. I didn't see the lots, no title searches , I'm rolling the dice. If anybody goes to the opening please post the results. Good luck to everyone bidding on other properties.

Good luck, let us know the results. I wanted to do the same, but I did not have the guts: I am still a newbie.

I was thinking of tossing in a bid on the hundred acres but didnt have time to go take a look  as I really wanted to see it first as I cant tell if its swamps or ponds. If its ponds it could be a nice piece if it goes cheap enough. I was going to lowball so I probably would have been smoked anyways.

Good luck with your bids today

I put in 2 bids sight unseen. I couldn't bear the thought of those kids going into the holidays without their child support. So it might be a Xmas miracle for some somebody. (I'm so idealistic). Anyway didn't go too high so I also expect to get smoked.

Best of luck

Hi ~ I'm new and have a question.  What happens if no one bids on a sales tax property?  Can you go to the township and make an offer for the minimum bid any time after the deadline?  Thanks, Sandra

[Pfm1011]

The town has a choice , leave it and try again next year or two or take it and sell it. If a town takes it they will sell it via public tender ..so no you cant just walk in and buy it.. Additionally if it doesnt sell at a tax sale..it wasnt worth the minimum

so if you want it, bid on it at the taxsale as it will never be as much of a bargain again.

Does anyone have the results?

Does anyone have the results?Huh

Here are some results.  I didn't bid but was tempted and followed up.  Burridge Lake [water access maybe] assessed at 28,500 winning bid 17,668.  Desert Lake [row through your property] assessed at 65,000,  winning bid 26,885,  Dog Lake [a lot of blasting] assessed at 48,000 winning bid 42,140   Read em and weep.  I wished I had ....never mind.

[worldjohn]

wow for dog lake I originally bid 43k then I scratched it out at the last minute and bid 33k cause I didnt really want to win unless it was going to be a good deal.  got any more results

[farrouk]

Well Well ... Looks like it will be a good Xmas for those poor abandon children with the dead beat dad. I won the Bob's Lake backlot ($6540)  and finished 2nd on the Ormsby Road property (Winner was  $15609). Good thing because I didn't want them both. Didn't get other results but if you call Monday they will tell you.
Even with the lien I think I made out OK.

[Pfm1011]

congratulations...That is very nice of you to help the poor children out

[worldjohn]

congratulations 100$ above the minimum.  But did you find out how much the crown lien was, before u bid?  how much is it?

[Dogma]

I know Burridge  would be a vey smalland odd shaped lot. Their is another property beside this resently purchased - for 49K, its also an odd shaped, the access is through someones property with a small trail. To me its somewhat an after though for a local trailer park boy, worthless for most, and no home or decent cottage could be planned to fit. So, you may think its a deal on paper but, show me the real benefits! Because I see little here, except for spending your money on crappy property know one really wants or needs.

Pictures??

Proof?
