I ran into a property looking at assessment records which was taken over by the county due to arrear in back taxes. The county has asked me to place a bid if I need to buy it. How much should I bid for this? What kind of deed will I receive? Will I become responsible for any of the lien connected to this property?
I want to buy property in Oakland County as our residence. As per the website, it stated that we will have the deed within 30 days. So is it just that I go for auction, bid and then within 30 days the property is ours? But is there anything else we should know? Thank you.
Even in the realm of education upliftment, until the last decade or so, the African- Americans existed as a most negligible and disadvantaged category. To provide them with better atmosphere for studies and then better opportunities for career so that they grow in their lives, there are various types of scholarships, internships and grant programs which are available. These programs are made not only for the degree pursuing students but for students pursuing various courses in higher studies. Even students in athletics and artistry courses can also take benefit from it. Among these grant programs United Negro College fund, Spelman, Morehouse, Harvard University are the popular ones. Grants For African American Students are based on academic excellence that will provide them more college funding options they have had ever before.

For the question about the difference between tax lien certificates and foreclosure: the certificate is just a piece of paper that says that instead of owing the government the tax, the owner pays you the tax + interest (at least 16%), a foreclosure is when someone the owner owes money to, that is tied to the property, comes to collect and the owner can’t pay; they give the owner a short extension after which they will take his house or land from him if he still doesn’t pay. So a mortgage lender or the government can both foreclose on you.
