I buy direct from auction and not through agents. I have the deeds and have been doing this for the last three years.
Never had a problem always get the deeds, rates bills twice a year.
Im British and live in France if you would like to see some of the pictures just send me an email address.
Im sitting on 15 properties from Jackson in the south to Toledo and Saginaw in the North.
When the market picks up I will sell. You cannot go wrong at these prices.
