I would probably feel bad myself. However neither you nor I should feel bad. The person that loses a house to tax sale is only suffering the consequences of their own choices and actions. There is nothing stopping you from selling the property back to the homeowner, for a profit or for what you would have been owed if they redeemed it on time. you could even finance it with easy terms. One thing I have considered is offering the previous owner a "Life Estate", meaning they own it until they die and then it reverts to me.

What I didn't realize is, that there was still someone living in the house. An now I feel as if I stole the house from under them. Should I feel this way?

I owed a few thousand, I really mean a FEW thousand dollars in back taxes and was catching up. I even made payment arragements with the lawyer who was collecting for the township. Too late! The house was sold. I am legally blind, single mother with 2 kids. No where to go. No home after 23 years and working 10-12 hours 5 days a week. Made no difference. In the US you own nothing. NOTHING. It's all a scam. You have no legal rights of ownership. My father was raised in the Soviet Union. He came here when he was 26 years old. The first thing he learned was English. The next thing he learned is that this country was far from free. Someone came to my home and notified me that it was no longer mine.

WHERE IS THE FAIRNESS OR OVERSIGHT IN THAT? ALSO WITH ALL THE LAWYER (SCAVANGERS) BUYING THE TAX LIENS, PRICES ARE DRIVEN UP TO THE PLEASURE OF THE GOVERNMENT (WHO AGAIN ARE SUPPOSED TO BE REPRESENTING US - THE POOR SLOBS) AND PREVENTING OR MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR ANY OF US WHO WANT TO BOOTSTRAP THEMSELVES OUT OF THE GETTO FROM BUYING A PROPERTY ON THE CHEAP. THIS ISN'T THE AMERICAN WAY AND IF I HAD THE MONEY I WOULD CHALLENGE THE SYSTEM IN COURT. SOME DAY SOMEONE WILL AND I WILL BE LAUGHING, BUT OF COURSE IT WILL BE TOO LATE FOR US POOR SLOBS. I'M MAD AS HELL AND AM NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANY MORE. WHETHER ITS TEA PARTY OR ANY PARTY, AT LEAST THEY ARE LISTENING. THE REPUCRATS ARE ONE OF A KIND, THEY WRITE THE LAWS FOR THEIR OWN BENEFIT, NOT OURS. SORRY TO RUIN YOUR DAY FELLOW SLOBS, BUT THEN YOU ALREADY KNEW IT, BUT WERE AFRAID TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
