Due diligence checklist

  1. 01

    Pull a title report

    Confirm what liens survive the sale. Many tax sales wipe junior liens but not federal IRS or municipal liens. A title company can run this for ~$50-150.

  2. 02

    Drive by the property

    Check occupancy, exterior condition, signs of vandalism, neighborhood comps. You won't get inside before the auction in most cases.

  3. 03

    Check the tax-deed clerk fees

    GA requires the winning bidder to pay deed-recording fees + transfer tax on top of the bid. Budget another 3-6%.

  4. 04

    Have funds ready before bidding

    Most sheriff/tax sales require payment same-day or within 24 hours via cashier's check or wire. Pre-approval letters are not accepted.

  5. 05

    Run the numbers

    Add holding costs (taxes, insurance, utilities), renovation budget, and selling costs to your max bid. A property at 60% of ARV often needs 30%+ in repairs.

  6. 06

    Talk to a real-estate attorney

    Distressed sales in GA have rules that vary by county. A 30-min consult before your first auction is worth it.
