Start by calling the Treasurer’s office for each county you’re interested in. They should be able to answer most of your questions. Each county will be different. Ask about upcoming or previous auctions.

Can someone help me find some info on the specifics of investing in Tax Deeds/Certificates in Illinois and Wisconsin?

If you know the basics and are willing to share, please let me know. Also any online resources or local contacts you would suggest will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Meg

  1. Find out the location and date of your local tax sales. Inquire at local town halls. Get their written rules.
  2. Attend the auction and talk to the locales.
  3. Tax sales are not a source of “secret” profits, you have to do work to profit and you can loose money.

Try taxsales.com, investorsnet.com and John Becks materials at johnbeck.net. If you have not done so, get a copy of the “16% Solution” by Moskowitz.
