Learn about tax default investing and how BackLot helps investors succeed

A tax-default property is a property where the owner has failed to pay property taxes for a certain period of time. When property taxes go unpaid, the local government may place a lien on the property and eventually sell it through a tax sale or auction to recover the owed taxes. These properties often present investment opportunities as they can be purchased below market value.
